Adding attachments to your Outlook Web email using Google Chrome.

This issue was like the Hunt for Red October or akin to breaking some World War II military code...the issue was this:  I used Google Chrome and access my email from home using the Outlook Web App.  I got frustrated and started to take it personally that for the life of me, I could NOT figure out how to add an attachment or access some of my contacts using Chrome.  All those functions worked in any other browser I had (IE, Safari on my Mac, etc.) but the IE I have on my PC is vastly outdated because I have been drinking from the fountain of Google.  Finally today I had enough!!  It's summer, it's 97 degrees outside (here in Boston, MA) and I have the WHOLE STINKIN' day to figure this out.

My first attempt was to update Microsoft Silverlight, on one of Google Tech support pages suggested that would do the trick, yea no luck.  Then just for shit and giggles, I went to my OWA (pretty cool...just learn that today, means Outlook Web App!) login page and chose to Use the light version of Outlook Web App, I would be lying if I knew why...it just felt right. Well lo and behold and shut my mouth, now I can add attachments AND my contacts in Chrome.  WHO KNEW?!?
