Microsoft... Keepin' it FRESH

Rant: For years I have used Outlook 2000. It did everything I needed it to, but recently I upgraded to Office 2003. For years to send/receive in Outlook all you had to do was press the F5 key. The F5 key used to be the universal "refresh" key. It refreshes the page in Internet Explorer and the folders in Windows explorer.

But in Outlook 2003 they changed it! It's now the F9 key!

I would understand if the F5 key played some vital role and needed to be assigned as such in Outlook, but it doesn't, now it doesn't do anything at all.

Way to go Microsoft! Way to keep it FRESH!
