I will look again, I did not see any.

As to the usage of Outlook, that is a corporate determination, and
I have no say in it. I do use my company notebook to do e-mail and
Outlook is what they have setup and Exchange is the server side. I

As to on line music, I never use it, eats up BW that I usually need to
