Do a funny little dance occasionally & make you wonder (if involved in some complicated thing) if you really *are* doing it the easiest way & that someone at MS has programmed it to do that when it knows you aren't (but will refuse to reveal if questioned) 'Tap' in the screen, light a bulb to indicate what a great idea you've got, but actually leads you off on what eventually turns out to be a totally irrelevant side track. Mentioning the word 'fax' causes it to think I want to send one! -- John Chapple
