Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders!

If you’re connected to the Internet these lowlifes can and will try to access your computer to steal your data and your money, install offensive advertising or just cause damage for the malicious heck of it. Some of the things these “black hats” do are just annoying, like advertising popups that just won’t go away. Others are more serious, like stealing your credit card number or turning your computer into “zombie machine” and using it to send spam or attack other computers without your knowledge. Modern computers are so powerful that this can be going on in the background while you’re working or playing and you won’t even notice it."

Microsoft Outlook is not only an e-mail client. It is also a powerful organizer, which can help you automate just about any office task. Potolook will also help you do that.
The initial idea of the Potolook plug-in was creation of a uniform foundation for development of additional modules that would perform their specific actions. There is known to be a great number of plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook, and all of them are made as stand-alone applications. Each of the Potolook modules can also be arranged as a stand-alone plug-in. However, we are not going to do that. Instead, we are offering you all of them at once, as a single program!
- Templates:
It is much easier and more convenient to compose e-mail messages using templates. You will no longer need to manually type in a greeting, quote the original message, remove the footer or sign the message. Potolook will do all that for you automatically! HTML templates allow creating appealing messages with little effort.
- Message Highlighting:
The quote highlighting allows navigating through large messages quicker. You will not miss a single word in the original message. You can create your own highlighting themes and select custom fragments of text at your discretion.
- Attachment Preview:
No more need to save all attachments to a separate folder and then use an external viewer program. View them right within Outlook! Besides all the known image formats, the support is rendered for viewing the message headers, text, and office files.
- Additional Modules: The plug-in's functionality continues to improve with the additional modules. The modules are extremely efficient for performing your business-specific tasks, automating your workplace, and mere communication between friends."
