Fraser may lose its cool

Here's a link to an article in the Denver Post titled "Fraser may lose its cool" that gives some statistics on Fraser's weather. Since its 85 degrees in Fraser today, its hard to think that winter will be here soon.

Getting My Outlook up to Speed

I just cleaned up my Outlook. I was having all kinds of problems with it locking up and having to run Detect and Repair often. My outlook.pst file was over 1/2 a meg. So I deleted & archived and deleted & archived (would you believe a large part of it was my CyberStar folder?) and got it down to 250k. Then I compacted (File>DataFile Management>Settings>Compact Now) it.
(That took about a half hour).

Then I ran scanpst.exe (which I found in C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 folder) on my outlook.pst file (usually found in the c:\Documents and Settings\myname\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder). It found over 40 "corruptions" and fixed them all.

Now my outlook is smoking.
