TECH: LookOut aka Outlook has an annoying behavior as it works. Does PLAXO inherit that?

I think it is interesting that, unlike any other application that shares my platform, LookOut seizes the focus. It doesn’t minimize while it doing certain stuff, but literally ‘takes over”. When LookOut is doing its work, I like to play a game of Solitaire. (It makes me less crazed while I am waiting. Argh!) Lookout, and to some extent Plaxo, won’t let me. It insists that I watch it “work”. Sometimes it twirls an hourglass for my amusement. But, many times it just sits there “promising” me it’s working. how do I know? Argh! I notice it when PLAXO is running, but the culprit may be LookOut. I can’t wait to get to Linux and dump all this trash. Wonder how much time I’ll save?
