Perhaps you should have asked your employer(s) why they used the tools that they did, since it's that important to you. We have our business needs at my .org, provided to me by the management, which are relatively unique, as are other businesses in other industries. The business needs of General Dynamics or the Red Cross are not ours. The people who are so zeroed in on their own selfish personal demands and go on and on about the unfairness of it all that they have to use the tools provided to them by the business simply lack insight. If there is a legitimate business need for a non-Windows solution and a business case for it can be documented and articulated, we provide it, assuming the budget allows. If not, we don't. It's that simple. For example, we support Blackberries at my .org. Not Windows Mobile, not iPhones, not Nokia nor LG. We have a BB Enterprise Server and if your BB has issues, we will support it and work to fix the problem. We also permit mailbox sync via ActiveSync, so that staff with personal iPhones or WM devices can get their mailboxes on their mobile device. However, we don't support them. If they break, you're on your own. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
