so dig this, I am at EDS doing that corporate slave thing and get dragged into an eval of the IBM Tempus Fugit advanced electronic messaging and collaboration project.
dig this:
you are scheduling a meeting.
you arrive at the meeting.
6 out of 20 people arrive on time.
you click on the meeting webpage.
webpage determines estimated arrival time of attendees based upon their GPS location (its in the phone) with the assumption that they didn't forget about the meeting. You click on a pretty reminder button and a pleasant reminder in a calm and docile female voice is send to the tardy attendees.
Perhaps their preference based profile will arrange for suitable transportation and re-schedule their flight, limo, cab, etc so that they can make it to your meeting and realize that you were too busy trying to figure out the new technology that you lost track of the purpose of the meeting and you and your colleagues get to sit around staring at each other wondering WTF you all are doing in the same room. But at least your corporate/government-funded GPS coordinates are the same.
I can see it now... 14 interns/secretaries/admin assistants with 14 GPS quadruple-mode WAP-enabled cell phones sitting in an empty conference room talking about the lastest corporate gossip playing euchre.
Where are your toddlers?
If you cannot see them, you are in the wrong place. Period.

please cease and desist from typing in the future.
Lotus is NOT a piece of crap mail server, IT RUNS ON LINUX, was LDAP compliant before it was oh-so-trendy to be LDAP-compliant, has had PKI built in it from wayyyy back when ( ask Charlie@lotus ), and the upgrades and patches are FREE
Only major version changes like R4 to R5 to RNext will cost a company some money.
