The IBM Workpads were great little systems for travel. 2 pounds, thin, instant-on, long battery life, decent screen, a 95% keyboard, the ability to use card memory, and WinCE apps - word, excel, email, etc. The only problem was only being able to sync to Windows boxes. Wasn't a problem at the time, I was working in a Windows shop.
I used mine with a notepad app to work on the ferry to work and on 9 hour flights, and the battery lasted most of the flight.
I've thought about checking Ebay to see what the prices are like now. It's too bad Microsoft and its' hardware thralls have abandoned that mini-laptop form factor.
Tapes, like any meda go bad, that's why you rotate them out before they go bad. If you follow a tape rotation schedule, keep track of how often you write to them and ditch them after x number of writes, you won't have a problem.
Exchange 2000 allows multiple message stores. The trick is not getting corruption in the first place. I ran Exchange 4.0 through 5.5 for a couple of years, and as long as you kept it maintained, it behaved nicely. Database defrags every two months, regular backups, and general housekeeping was required.
I used PINE and IMAP on my Exchange server, never went all the way and got LDAP working. I don't remember, do you still get WINMAIL.DAT attachments via IMAP? Time for procmail...
When's the last time you had to hand-hack a.cf file - M4 is the way to go, baybee...
IMO, group calendaring is a red herring -- I've never seen a company where they actually use it. PHBs don't update their calendar, execs go ahead and squat in conference rooms without using the reservation system, and so on...
actually have this same exact router. It has a huge bug, the port forwarding feature does not work.
I'd take this warning with a grain of salt, if he means the Virtual Server feature. I ran Sendmail 8, IMAP 2000, Apache, and BIND 8 behind one of these routers just a few months back, on firmware 1.73-something.
should get full disclosure.. In the case of windows MS, in the case of Linux the community. Doesn't it make sense that if you can't fix it it's only a liability to know all of the details anyway..
But, you can *work around* the problem without being able to fix the problem in many cases. If you know about the problem.
procmail is your friend.
Since I set up procmail rules on my server, I've cut down the amount of SPAM in my inbox by 3/4s. Anything not sent to me directly and not from a list goes in a junkmail folder that gets checked infrequently.
If I could only get my friends with hotmail accounts on another service, I'd be spam-free and hotmail-free.
I'm left handed, and this looks unusable to me. I want to type with my right hand and use my left hand with a stylus. Judging from the web site, it doesn't appear you can move the shift/space bar, so the space bar would line up with the palm of your hand instead of your thumb. Sigh.

URL? After this first bit I've read of his, I'd love to see more of his crap.
How does your brother have good luck with the Itrip when it's only available for pre-order?
I've got a black Western Electric 2500 set and a WE 500 set that work just fine on the network, despite being older than most of the people here...
There's no problem with testing 911 functionality, just tell the dispatcher you're testing the line.
As a telco manager, I did it all the time.
Would you rather wait until you need to talk to an E911 operator to find out it doesn't work?

Looks like an HP Omnigo from several years back.

Thank you -- this is absolutely brilliant!

Version 1.93 of the SMC firmware allows you to have 20 virtual servers (port translations) to internal hosts.
I used an SMC 7004BR when switching OSes - I didn't want to worry about switching the OS and learning a new firewall at the same time.
It's a great little router appliance, 4 port 10/100 switch, DHCP server, and a print server. $100 with a $20 rebate.
You'd be suprised. I bought an IBM P75 desktop system with 3 3c509s and no hard drive for $30 a few months back. It makes a killer little router.
