Mac OSx starting to find shared network folders

Maybe it is the reboot after the installation of the latest release of OSx that all of the sudden has the Air auto-adding the shared drives on the network.  However, still somewhat annoying are the shared drive not found pop-ups each time the Air is not connected to the home network.

On a different note, I ventured a little more with Entourage since I installed Office 2008 a few weeks ago.  I have two emails configured.  After reserving some flights, I had the option of downloading a .vcs file to add to my calendar.  iCal opens instead of Entourage.  There is no option that I have found yet that will allow Entourage to be the default instead of iCal.  In Entourage, there is an option to sync with iCal, but I have not seen the two sync yet after adding an event to iCal.

A few days after receiving the Air, I brought it into work.  The wireless available is not open nor discoverable.  With a few minor settings and a certificate, I was able to connect with no problem.  Today, I managed to connect to the print servers and connected to the printer near my desk.  It was a very simple process using the Air and really Mac OSx.

Satisfaction rating to date?  9 out of 10. That's a pretty good net promoter score all things considered.  Almost everyday, I am using my air to the fullest extent of the battery; sometimes through 2 charges.  There is still a learning curve involved.  I have definitely not explored everything yet.  I have yet to make a movie!  I have made my first ringtone using GarageBand. I also used Spaces, but not sure that I completely am used to it.  Office 2008 has been okay;  I have done a couple word docs and worked on a loan amortization sheet in excel.  Each day, the learning curve gets easier, however, I still wish it was easier to get answers that I want online.
