Entourage search vs mac mail

I'm thinking of going back to mac mail. I love the calendar functionality and the nifty widget to make a task from an email, but the search function is so incredibly clunky. Am I missing something? Did mac mail highlight mails in a conversation too?

Trying to find the rest of a conversation and old emails in Entourage is hopeless. Often I want to check back in the sent, archive or project folders to see what I said about something, or what they said...

maybe I should switch back to mac mail. I'm thinking of going back to paper for my calendar and tasks, since I'm very often away from the computer (more than I realized) without the calendar in front of me, and I can't sync it with my iPaq pda anyhow.

is the search on entourage as half-baked as I think it is? Or am I just not using it right?

cheers

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
