I fell in love with One Note when I first saw it. But, it was only a trial version. Is it a problem to transfer over to text files to save things?

I love One Note also, and use it for just about everything now........thing is, I'm trying to find out how to d/l text to it.

As far as saving things, it has to be one of the easiest apps I've ever used; quick and user-friendly.

Gracie, all you have to do is click on the little box at the top of each page of your Inbox or Sent Messages, then use the pull-down menu on the bottom right of the last page to choose what to do with all the messages you just marked (Download as txt, csv, or xml).

For example, I had 7 pages of messages in my Inbox. So, I clicked that little box at the top of each of the 7 pages to mark all the messages. Then I chose to download. And, then I did the same thing to all 8 pages of messages in my Sent Messages.

Fast and easy.

Actually it's a lot simpler than that:

Open either your Inbox or Sent Items folder.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

At the bottom, under the icon legend:

Download all Private Messages as:
XML | CSV | Text


Pick one and click one. Done. No need to tick box select individual messages or pages of messages.

Messages will be in date order - Sent Items first, followed by Inbox - in one file.

As much cooking as you do - I was sure you would have one. We talk more about cooking on this thread than any other topic... (LOL)...

Mike - question of the day - Why doesn't Janet have a Convection Microwave for her kitchen??? (LOL)...

I'd have a lot of things for my kitchen if I'd really push for them, but I have a bad habit of making do with what is already here and working. Plus, for quite awhile I thought we were going to move and figured the new place would have everything I wanted. Looks like we're not going to be moving, for awhile anyway, so there is a guy coming tonight to talk to us about upgrading the kitchen. We'll see how that goes.

We are going back tomorrow morning some time - it should still be there since it was closing time when I saw it. If not = wait for the next good deal - me and my wife are big believers in - If it is meant to be - it will be - if not - then not - don't sweat it - there are more important things in life to worry about...

I think that's a great attitude to have. Why expend the energy lamenting something that didn't go the way you wanted? Not going to change anything and besides, it often works out to be a blessing.

Congratulations on your entry into the 21st century of cooking. I think you will enjoy it quite a bit. Just a thought, you might want to buy the extended warranty if it's available and not too expensive. After all you don't actually know what this thing went through before it was returned to the store.

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime. I can't wait for summertime!

You might want to weigh the cost of a warranty against just replacing the appliance. I'm reminded of Mike's mother who bought warranties on everything. More than 1 repairman told her that after all those years of paying the warranty she could have had a brand new vacuum or clothes washer etc. With appliances when the salesman asks if I want the warranty I ask him if he expects it to fail in the first year or two. He looks shocked and then laughs and continues with the sale without it. Now big stuff, like cars with all their electronics are another situation. Whatever you decide I'm sure is going to be right for you. Whatever makes you feel better about buying it. Good luck, I hope it's still available to you and I'll wait for a report on what you think about how easy and well it works.

Yep, Yep and Yep Janet and good luck with upgrading the kitchen. I do extended warranties depending upon the item that I am buying and I have also asked the salesman if he was trying to talk me out of the purchase with the big push on extended warranties.

Now, one refrigerator in the past I did buy the extended warranty and was glad I did - the main computer board was replaced twice and the control panel once - this is one case where the extended warranty paid for itself - my go on extended warranty is based on items cost and how much it relies on electronics - the fridge was one of those super fancy types and while I did not like it - my wife really wanted it - she now goes in my direction with those kind of choices...

Getting ready to head out the door now to see if that convection microwave is still around...

Update on Mike. Yep, he got whatever I had yesterday. Don't know if this is something going around or we just got the prize. So glad it only lasts 24 hours. I was totally miserable for 24 hours and then poof! All better. This morning Mike is upright and holding down fluid so I'd expect him to be normal in another hour or 2. So, if you wondered why he didn't post yesterday... I sure hope nobody else gets it, but at least it's a quick one.

Well, as long as it's not transmitted over the net....

And yep, fast is good!

I used to swear by Kenmore/Whirlpool fridges/ranges and washers. Seemed like you couldn't kill em. The past several years though we've had 2 fridges need a new compressor about 5 years after we bought them. What's up with that? The last repairman who was here said what they're making these days is junk and I'd have to agree with him. I'd definitely have to check out reports on other brands before I buy again, especially now that I want a few bells and whistles on them.

Oh, so true Janet!

We purchased Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer cause the reports of the brands I used to buy were more negative than positive.

Even though I have to contact a F&P dealer for repairs, I've only had one issue in the 6 years we've owned them.

Never heard of Fisher & Paykel. Goes to show you how often I buy appliances.

I'm looking forward to the "new" ecf. Let's face it. It will either be wonderful or be a pain in the you-know-what. I'll figure it out cause I need this place a lot more than ecf needs me.

Janet & Mike, so glad y'all are feeling better. Nothing worse to have but given the choice. . . a 24 hour one is the 2nd best option.

Have a great afternoon.

If my recollection is correct, Sears actually manufactured their own appliances back in the day. And that would have been our last top loading washer that I repaired until I could no longer get parts for it. Got a good 20 years out of that washer.

Now they outsource everything and manufacture nothing. Including the "Kenmore" most expensive dehumidifier we got - that broke down within 5 months, was repaired under warranty, broke down again one month out of warranty - and ended up on a recall list as a fire hazard - three years later.

At the time of the second failure within 13 months I raised hell with Sears, citing that the thing was obviously a $250.00 lemon, and expecting their former "we stand by our appliances" response. What I got was "Don't care,. Pound salt. You should buy another Kenmore dehumidifier to replace it."

And that was the last appliance we ever bought from Sears.

They lost out on a kitchen remodel, two bathroom remodels, a 'fridge and dishwasher replacement, a front loading washer, two room air conditioners and a freezer. About $5,000.00 worth of business went elsewhere, all over their crappy attitude regarding a crappy $250.00 dehumidifier that was so bad it ended up on a recall list.

No more packaged yeller rice for moi! Mixed up some homemade last night with jasmine rice and soft chorizo; lip smackin' gooood.

Prep jasime rice with:
-water 50%
-chicken stock 50%
-sesame oil (just a lil')
-tumeric
-cumin
-smoked paprika

Saute in butter:
-onions
-minced garlic
-roasted red peppers
-carrots, medium dice

Then add 'skinned' chorizos (three small links per cup of uncooked rice), break up lumps/chunks and saute till done (do not drain). Dump mixture into cooked rice and mix well.

That is one of the major reasons that Sears in trouble with borderline bankruptcy... They kept using their historical name without backing it up with their historical quality - Shoot Craftsman tools are made in China and now they push their cheapo brands more than they do Craftsman...
