Should we do another one this year?

Everybody in southern California seems to be falling ill, so I'm sure it won't be too long before I'm KO'ed as well. (…)

Before everybody disappears for the holiday weekend, I wanted to extend a personal “thank you” to all my regular visitors, lurkers, bashers, and supporters. Y'all rule! (…)

If you say that Outlook 2003 is better and faster with client-side operations, you're dead wrong. I detailed the downgrade in today's Windows Fanatics newsletter. (…)

I can't stand it anymore; it's time to roll back to Outlook 2000 and pray to GOD IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE that someone keeps future versions of the PIM from going straight into the crapper for anybody not connecting to an Exchange server. (…)

I have a theory: Doc Searls is really Colonel Sanders. (…)
