Doh! Your memory of my set-up is better than my own.
Or, rather, Entourage rules and scripts are so seamless that they have
become, in my mind, "just Entourage". Oh, how I love thee. [*]

Game over. :(

I would expect nothing less from your scripts -- good citizens, all.
Sorry for any confusion I may have introduced for readers and posters.

[*] I have just finished reading R. Fine's "The Development of Freud's
Thought", and am 200 pages into Wilhelm Reich's "Character Analysis", and so
the notion of abnormal attachments and obsessions has been on my mind
lately.
Recently, I read an article about China's efforts to provide "Internet
addiction" services in what they perceive is a growing problem (particularly
among young males).
This leads me to wonder:
Can someone fall in love with their email client (or their OS)?
Would this explain some of the irrational (verbal and logical) behavior
apparent in "flame wars"?
Are complex ego impulses, formed during the phases of infantile sexuality,
at the root of the OS wars popular on lists?
Is Windows (/MS) the domineering and demanding father?
Is Mac (/Apple) the nurturing and loving mother?
(Are there any folks out there writing about technology in the language of
psychoanalysis? I am interested in the topic, if anyone has any references
or reading suggestions.)
