  1. Re:What a crock on Microsoft's Guide to Accepting Donated PCs · · Score: 1

    "Thank you Sir, May I have another??"

  2. Not Surprising on U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID · · Score: 1

    This does not surprise me. Bill Gates and company aspire to control the world. It will be a bloodless coup. In the past, countries fought to control natural resources and territory. Now, the battle will be over control of information. Microsoft has launched its offensive and the rest of the world is ill prepared to defend itself.

    In fact, the world has not even realized that they are under attack. Can you imagine, Bill Gates, Emperor of the World! If he or one of his minions does not like what you say or do, he will just suspend your passport. Then you won't even be able to access your money which was deposited in the First National Microsoft Bank or by groceries from the Microsoft Supermarket.

    If you are stopped for a traffic violation, the officer will find that your license has been suspended because it is linked to your passport. If Bill really gets mad at you, he will revoke your passport all together and you will no longer exist. Wow! Instant exile!

    This sounds like a good plot for a science fiction story. On second thought, we may just have to watch it play out on the evening news (as long as Bill allows semi-freedom of the press.)

  3. Re:GoldMine Everywhere on CRM for Linux? · · Score: 1

    you might run into a problem doing it this way. How would you configure, customize and admin the db.. You can't do this thru the web tools. True, you can view your data, but you'll still need to have one Windows machine to get the db set up. both Goldmine and ACT are the same in this regard.

  4. Re:Begging your pardon, you're a bit confused on CRM for Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    sorry, but I have to disagree. CRM can be the heavily integrated kind- true- ACT cannot integrate with your JDE system for example. But, ACT does track sales and is capable of some great reports on its own, or you could use Crystal Reports to get data that would rival if not surpass anything you could do with JDE world writer. ACT can handle synchronizing data for a nationwide sales team and call center- tracking sales and customer contacts. Hardly a PIM on steroids. More like an affordable solution if you don't happen to be big business.
