I won't typically need to modify them at home, just view them. Also, does the Entourage work with Outlook? My work's email and calendars are all on our outlook exchange server, would I be stuck using outlook lite with Entourage, or would that allow me to access the whole thing? Because outlook lite sucks.
I'm just trying to decide between the two office suites...bleh.
