I've almost finished Schoonmaker's book, and I've really enjoyed it. If you've not read it, it's definitely worth the read. I've tried to capture some of his thoughts into a quick-reference format here. I've reworded some things for space trying my best not to change his meanings.

For those of you w/o Excel, I've posted the image here. Otherwise, I've hosted the file here (http://www.nls.net/mp/gaines/Styles.xls)

Very helpful, QTip, thanks. I also appreciated your yearly earnings spreadsheet from a couple of weeks ago (which I tweaked for my own part-time play, limits, and rakeback program).

Might want to just polish it for spelling (hear->here, misplaced apostrophes, etc.) before too many people grab it. Well, this is 2+2: I'm sure nobody will notice. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

OT: Consider switching IE to Firefox and Outlook Express to Thunderbird. They're superior in almost every way.

I have no control over this at work. However, I'll look into it for home use.

I forgot to mention that Schoonmaker also has these summarized in Appendix C in his book. I just wanted to get it all on 1 sheet for quick study.

Does Thunderbird do HTTP mail for Hotmail? Only reason I have to use it, but would love it if there's an alternative.

There *is* an alternative (http://www.hotmail.com).

Also, Google (http://tinyurl.com/7we5u) is helpful sometimes.

A simple "no" would have been fine, why be a dick about it? You said it was superior in almost every way, the first thing you're asked about it shows it's a completely different product that is suitable only as a replacement for a subset of the tasks OE handles.
