前天买了E71, 目前正在摸索中，至少速度还不错。由于PC上用Outlook2007, 所以首先学习二者之间的同步。发现一个问题。
E71的带办事项不如Outlook详细，如，没有事件开始时间。更重要的是，如果Outlook中的循环周期设置采用" 完成一个再生成另一个的模式", E71就无法正确同步时间，只能默认为每个月的第一天，太奇怪了。把Outlook的循环周期改为第一种方式就OK了。
令人啼笑皆非的是，第一种方式Outlook中很可能是个bug, 即月和天的设定是反的。MS居然会犯这种错误?

I think the value has gotten a little more watered down over the years. If you look back 20 or 30 years, and look up the number of people who had M.B.A.s, there are probably five times as many in 2006. It means comparatively less now than in 1966, because there are more of them. That's why the value is greater at the top schools.

Last, and perhaps most important, financial institutions did not account for asset values accurately enough. I have heard some argue that fair value accounting � which assigns current values to financial assets and liabilities � is one of the main factors exacerbating the credit crisis. I see it differently. If more institutions had properly valued their positions and commitments at the outset, they would have been in a much better position to reduce their exposures

Well we know that British people like to say 'please' and 'thank you' a lot, but this

In fact, it's just a friendly way of refusing or turning down an invitation and sounds
much better than just saying 'no', which can be a little abrupt.
So next time you feel like a night in front of the TV and your friend invites you to
karaoke, you know what to say 'thanks, but no thanks � maybe next time'.
