as i said - ask for a 2nd PC. it costs zealch... for the calendar - i use exchange's web interface. since everything here is in english, it works properly. for email - i use evolution - it's mail interface with exchange works ok, usually. its calendar component gets stack all the time, so i don't use it any longer. however, there's no problem with having a 2nd windows machine on which you could view hebrew properly and run other software that doesn't work properly via linux (e.g. when i need to schedule a meeting, i open outlook on windows, because the web interface has a very limited interface to schedule appointments. i usually, then, ask other people to schedule the apointments - there is no problem in acknowledging them via the web interface ;) -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
