I had to downgrade for about a week until the newest release.<BR/><BR/>RTM is OK, but I think the user interface needs some work, particularly in the Gmail extension. It's a little clunky and you have to click around too much for simple everyday tasks, such as marking an item as completed or postponing something. The GCal extension's a little better, though, but it would be nice if the checkmarks appeared only on days when you have something to do.Chris Griswoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202859732079543927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-13015011934908319542008-02-18T00:54:00.000-08:002008-02-18T00:54:00.000-08:00And the most strange thing is that everything seem...And the most strange thing is that everything seems to be ok on my iMac in the office.
