Here is something sort of neat for you Outlook users. Want to send a New Years message at the stroke of midnight but don't want to be on your computer to do it? Try this. Create your message just as you normally would, but before you send it, do an alt p for options. If alt p doesn't work for you, do an alt v and arrow down to options and press enter. Next, tab to, do not send before and press your spacebar to check it, or use the hotkey, alt b. Now tab one time to the date. Type in the date in, mm/dd/yy format. In this case you would type in, 01/01/07. Tab one more time and type in the time in, hh:mm AM or PM. In this case you would type in, 12:00 AM Now just press enter and then send your message as you normally would. The message will stay in your out box until midnight on New Year's eve. Of course you will need to be online and have Outlook open in order for the message to be sent. You might also want to set Outlook to check for messages every 1 minute if you don't have it set that way now.
