There's a difference between saying Rednecks shop at Wal-Mart and saying everyone who shops at Wal-Mart is a Redneck. The insult to all Wal-Mart customers is only in your mind. Plus I don't think saying Rednecks shop at Wal-Mart falls into insulting someone on their Race/Color/Creed/Religion/National Origin/Sexual Orientation.
1) Didn't anyone else notice the "Pocket PC" marking on the bottom of the device? That reeks "composite image".
Yes everyone noticed that, it's just typical image branding that websites do to keep people from ripping off the images they post.
2) It doesn't matter if there's a smudge on the screen or not. It'd be easy enough to take an image of a real Palm and combine it with the fictitious parts.
True, you could do that but why? If you're going to doctor something you want it to look as professional as possible. So you'd get a clean image and composite it, that way you don't need to transfer one image's flaws to the other. So as I said far more work than you'd need for a mock up.
3) The button in the middle of the device (whether it's a jog wheel, or whatever) is contrary to the design specifications that Palm uses. It's simply not the simple device that Palm has been famous for (and quite successful with).
So I suppose that 2 direction scroll button that's already in the same exact spot as the new d-pad is also contrary to the deisgn spec Palm uses? It's just replacing a 2 directional control with a 4 (or possibly 8) directional control to allow for images larger than the screen in two directions instead of just one.
Why this isn't a Pshop job

If you look at the image here you lose the photoshop tell tails on the edges. Also look at the flash reflechtion on the screen particularly at the top where you can see a fingerprint smudge. If it is a fake there's far more work in making it look real than was necessary.
If it's Exchange you could do Outlook front-end to POP/SMTP/LDAP backend and go the cheap route. Or look into some of the offerings Oracle is going to have coming up which target to use Outlook as the front end with Oracle backend and save you money and give more security than Exchange.
If it's Outlook, good luck. Your choices of widely accepted front-ends are pretty much Outlook and Notes and any change requires training the userbase on the new software.
If it's both RUN! Conceptually it's not a bad thing, but in a Corporate environment someone wanting to do this is just suicide unless you're a very small shop with very educated users. And management will be looking for scapegoats when it fails.

Also if you click the image of the book it takes you to amazon to buy it. A link with nothing to tell you what is will do taking you offsite with no way to get back other than the back button isn't good.
Suppose I am with my roommate in my room and I play a CD on the boom box. My roommate does not own this CD; yet he is able to "share" in the listening of this CD as I play it. Is this illegal?
Yes, you are only using one copy
Suppose my roommate is in another room and I run a speaker wire from my boom box in my room to the speakers in his room. I then play my CD on my boom box. I hear it on the boom box; he hears it on his speakers in his room. Is this illegal?
Yes, you are only using one copy
Suppose I replace the boom box with a 300 disc CD changer that is capable of playing two discs simultaneously. I play one disc on my speakers and I play another disc on his speakers. Is this illegal?
Yes, you are only using one copy of each
Suppose I replace the 300 disc CD changer with an mp3 server and the speaker wire with a network cable. I play one mp3 on my speakers and another mp3 on his speakers. Is this illegal?
No, since you can your roomie can be playing two different tracks off the same album you could in essence be using two copies.
It's not that hard of a concept, you purchase one copy, you can do with is as you see fit provided you do not make copies and distribute it. Putting it on a server as MP3 is distribution.
Having said that, all my CD's are ripped to MP3 at home and shared so my wife can use them from her machine. But the distribution scale is small enough that I'm not what the RIAA is targeting in this case.
A massive "unlocked door" worm has been ravaging users of Schlage locks. Aparrently hackers have been breaking into houses with Schlage locks installed. 9 out of 10 users were found to have installed the locks but never engaged the locking mechanism, and many times had left the key in the knob.
Have your boss try to talk their boos into a security audit by a third party. Try and convince them that an independant third party should be able to satisfy your concerns, and is much cheaper thank recovering from script kiddies. This also keeps your butt out of the frying pan it could be in if you go looking for holes and get accused of cracking.
But to be honest, any company where you have legitmate outside customer or vendor contact shouldn't be bouncing you from phone number to phone number anyhow. It's a 10 second switch on most PBX's to make your phone number follow you, if your company can't handle that I wouldn't expect them to handle your e-mail address any better.
I haven't seen anyone use this yet but how about first init, last name, last 4 of phone number.
It makes it easy to remember, real hard to come up with duplicates and avoids the problems of Jeffrey Smith who "everyone calls" Jeff. As well as John T Smith and John A Smith which normally become the exceptions to the rule.
But there are still some things to take into consideration. The company I work for (or more specifically worked for before we got bought) had an employee named Pamel Enis. This is where their first init, last name convention went out the window.
The last issue we had was that the display looked perfect at 1600x1200, but if you scale down to any other resolution everything started to look pretty bad.
With all of the servers, routers, and various other protected systems we have, the sheer quantity of passwords is mind-bogglingly difficult to keep track of in a secure fashion.
It's kind of obvious the poster is trying to keep track of passwords not authenticate passwords.
I think it's time the antivirus companies step up to the plate for the average consumer, and add blocking/filtering to the AV clients.
They've already done it, it's just not in the AV clients. Norton Internet Security has the ability to block pop-up's/ActiveX/Java. Also I know McAfee firewall has some built in blocking (not that familiar iwth it though) that you can use to block pop-up's/pop-under's.
The original poster is asking for a system to store passwords not an authentication mechanism. Every post rated 4 or above is suggesting Kerberos, SSH, LDAP and other authentication mechanisms, all of which are off topic for the post.
There were a few on topic replies suggesting web servers etc, unfortunately they were never modded high enough, and unfortunately I have no mod points at the moment.
Wasn't planned obsolesence in MS products one of the reasons to support OSS? So we'll go them one better and give you forced obsolsence, thereby increasing TCO and playing into BIlly Gate's hands.

Exchange, Outlook or both?

You could try one of these and put whatever you want in it. But it would have a much smaller capacity than a standard pop machine.

We let them build the base then when their government collapses, because we all know that communism cannot work. Just so we can then say
In that case you set up a forwarder.
