No wonder they moved away from that crap from IBM. But, to Google apps? lol They won't be any happier . . .

To the Cognoscenti,
How do these two systems rate with regard to data security? Will the GSA email end up on WikiLeaks next week?

Noooo, it is aready there.....

Seriously speaking I am not so sure what the WikiLeaks story is; either way the Government ITs are completely uncapable or the leaks are remotely controlled. Once it can happen, twice maybe but this ihas become a continuous, unstopped leak.........

They still haven't learned.

"Microsoft isn't thrilled."
Shouldn't the focus be on IBM not Microsoft? Never fear... there will be an announcement soon that they're switching to Microsoft and Bing... that's what the lobbyists get paid for!

Sounds like a power play to get better licensing terms from either MS or IBM.

Is AW being run on a 30 year old TRS-80 with 8" floppy drives or something? Over Dial-Up?

C'mon guys...

The BBS I ran with a Mac 512K and Red Ryder Host with two 800k Floppies on Dial-Up ran better than this place has become.

I bitch because I care :)

If I post and get an error, instead of reloading and double-posting, hit your back button, copy your text and then reload the page. If your post made it through the firsts time, you will see it. If it didn't make it, you can paste your text and re-post it. A bit of a nuisance, but I can't remember the last time I had a dupe.

Hilariously, I got an error posting the above and had to do the above trick. Ironic.
