What started as a hobby hosting my own Exchange server for family and friends slowly became a part time job.
From making sure the system was backed up regularly, to battery backed up, and not to mention making sure my internet connection was not disrupted by other projects eventually made the whole thing way more work and responsibility than I signed up for.
Once the server went down while I was on vacation, and I felt terrible.
I slowly migrated all my users off my Exchange server onto GMAIL for domains over the last few months and since then I've slept alot better at night.
Once the project went from fun to work, It was more trouble than it was worth.
I agree with the parent - Apple had all the beta versions, documentation and access to the RTM since October (like the rest of us). This should be a non-issue. And I haven't yet gotten Vista to even run with apps as simple as SQL Server's Enterprise Manager!:) how depressing!!

I remember hearing something just like this around 10 years ago. Not much has changed since then (except maybe Google Apps).
That is one of my favorite all time stories.. thanks for posting, I havent read it in years.

If they computed pi using hex they would never find the preordained visual pattern meant to be found exclusively by humans!
Dont forget about the built in TiVo!
