No, not at all ... I am having a "blast" though the excitement is not good for me ... But, I love to learn things and then to document them in my own "very unique" (to steal from West Wing) way.

The only depressing thing is at this moment, my capacity for handling changes is limited (which I am sad to say will limit how fast I can update the documents.

But keep the cards and letters comming. I try to answer all e-mail on same day and to make updates, like the tip I got today about the column headers, right click and you can trun columns off and on...

I wish I was as cleaver as people say I am, but the vast majority of the Guru tips in the documents almost always came from someone else....

I only figgured out the easy stuff...

But the go "live" caught me by surprise, sigh ... but I am getting new screen pics and racing madly to update the content. And to add the new Icon "scheme" to link the parts togeather ... Any way, keep the cads and letters comming ...

That is not a good sign, typing going ... well, will do the bset ic an but today maybe a total lost .. sigh ...

I am having the same porblme as stated here. The system will not stop processing, even though I have set up a work profile that tells it to, have update the project proference, and see a meesage stating that it is using my "work" preferences. CPU is at 100%.

I have tried update all general preference profiles (work, home and the primary) to not run when system is being used. Did the update and still running at 100% CPU.

The way it is supposed to work is that you set preference sets for different venues and set which venue your computers should use on the web. Changing one venue (or the defaults) will have no effect on computers assigned to a different venue. Right now there is a problem, the suspend type preferences will not work if there are any venue specific preferences defined.
