I was going to slag you again with another "check out the big brain on Crispin" type comment but this time you're absolutely right. Sure I'd love to see a drop-in for Exchange as well but for me "drop-in" also means "will work with Outlook as a front end". The same goes for a drop-in for Outlook...drop-in means users can switch over with a minimum of training and squeamishness.
Also all these comments about lisa and melissa and code red etc have me scratching my head as well, I mean hasn't anybody heard of virus scanners? I've got Norton Corporate Edition with the Exchange/Outlook plugin and ain't NOTHING getting past it! Shit, you can even configure it to autoupdate itself and push the updates out to the clients when they log in!
John Ashcroft lost an election to a dead guy, should speak volumes about his worth as a leader. I think they shoulda made the dead guy the Attorney General...
This is EXACTLY the method my wife and I use! The outgoing message is short and to the point and all our friends are now more or less trained to know that if they leave or start to leave a message we will either pick up the phone or call them back right away. I know that this annoys some people, but too bad! The phone that I pay for exists for MY convenience, not theirs! You'd be amazed at the number of hangups we get in a day, usually right around dinner time.
It is illegal copying and/or use. Theft implies that the owner was deprived of his property. Oh and please don't trot out the old saw that warez use "steals" revenue from software manufacturers! That would only be true if the warez user would have otherwise purchased a licenced copy had a warez version not been available. It is wrong for anyone to make assumptions about the purchasing habits of individuals...a tactic often used by the aggrieved parties to inflate their "losses".

That being said, I'm starting to introduce some of my clients to the concept of GPL software and they're liking the concept of not having to pay the "Microsoft tax". The hardest part is getting past "What's the catch?" when I tell them that an Open Office license has no cost attached to it.

Of course they're gonna tell business leaders what they want to hear, not necessarily what the real-world situation is going to be.

Personally, I'd like to go back to the old way where you could bring nail clippers and plastic rifles for GI Joe figurines, but that would be asking the Americans to embrace logic and hell will freeze sooner than that!
One of my favourite quotes...

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar. - Julius Caesar
And just what is it that you are defending..."reality TV" and mindless shitcoms...in short, living vicariously through the exploits of imaginary characters.
This in an excerpt from a comment made on another discussion site:
In a cafe recently two women sat behind me who reminisced at length about their memories. But they were not shared memories at all; they were episodes of "Seinfeld." In reality, these two women shared none of the experiences they were recounting; at the time they were alone in a dark room staring at a lit box. Fake memories implanted by others. Scary. All that time they could have been doing something. I finally gave up television when I heard this quote, I forget who said it: "no one ever lay on their deathbed and wished they had watched more television." That did it
I may be an assclown but at least my ass isn't 300lbs and fed on a steady diet of olestra, ding-dongs, pork rinds, and bacteria-and-hormone-ridden meat while sitting stupefied before a mind-numbing television set awaiting the next episode of sad families being humiliated on "Cops."

Oooo! Everyone check out the big brain on Crispin!
Practically, it's hard to afford giving users enough space in their inboxes. They cannot be trained well enough to delete mail or to move it to other folders....
First of all, you can set limits on your mailboxes and prohibit send (and receive) at certain predetermined levels. That usually clues them in. Also there's a mailbox manager utility that allows you to clean out old messages that are older than a certain elapsed time. I've used both successfully and 99.9% of the time they (the users) don't even notice.
After using Exchange for several years and ironing out the initial glitches, there's still instances where "messages go missing" that users were certain they had saved, maybe in one of those other folders.
1.) The copy we have is limited to 25 licenses. This means that 25 connections are allowed at one time. More than that and Exchange punts you. "Sorry, you have to wait until a connection is open."
Well shit...then I'll really have to wait for someone to rip a new release before I listen to it because there's no way in hell I'll be buying one of these SADCD players!

You can even get rid of the FAT32 if you want because 8.2 can mount (and read) NTFS partitions. It just can't read the NTFS permissions.

I'd chalk that one up to "user error"...
That's the one...
1.) The copy we have is limited to 25 licenses. This means that 25 connections are allowed at one time. More than that and Exchange punts you. "Sorry, you have to wait until a connection is open."
Soooo...why don't ya turn off license logging???
What about GroupWise from Novell? It's not open source, but it's as functional as outlook/exchange. That's what we're using.
Uhhh...I checked this one out before deploying Exchange for my latest client. Unfortunately, its licenses are just as expensive as Exchange/Outlook.
Well shit...then I'll really have to wait for someone to rip a new release before I listen to it because there's no way in hell I'll be buying one of these SADCD players!
Whatever happened to the Eugenics War of the 1990's? The one where Khan ruled 1/4 of the Earth, and ends up being ejected into space.
Yeah I hear ya... I was disappointed when 1997 came and went and they didn't turn New York into a maximum security prison...
Sorry, you're human mind isn't capable of doing that error free. This isn't a 'homework' scenario, it's a PHD.
You take a sheet of paper and draw a flowchart/timeline on it. It seems to work for Lucas...
Nope, only w2k is bootable.
Nope, Win98 (second edition) boots (and installs) directly from the CD. I ought to know...I've done this with many a client.
