Having downloaded the 260+ MB source code OO.org 2.0 package at a cost to self in time, and having come across Tom Adelstein's email client, http://sourceforge.net/projects/tradeclient/ I'm going to try to find the time to put the two together, somehow. http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/47511/index.html "Microsoft embedded itself in the enterprise with something other than Internet Explorer and Office. The loss leader in their product line comes with Microsoft Office and requires a back office component to work. Until someone replaces Outlook, the opportunity to expunge Microsoft from the enterprise will remain illusive." 'Once you have control of the lines of communication in an organization, you own it. If you empower an executive vice president to come between the CEO and the rank and file worker and mid-management, the CEO becomes ineffective. The same with Information Technology. Whoever owns the communication lines controls the organization." "So, with all the projections in the media, I wanted to know which strategy Microsoft would use to beat UNIX and Novell. I decided to take DEC's offer to put me in direct contact with some of their marketing executives. I met with two key members of sales management who convinced me that Exchange Server would make the difference in the NOS war. They asserted that by capturing the lines of communication in the enterprise, they could control the enterprise." > > [...] > > +1 > > Lars Nooden ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Software patents kill innovation and harm all Net-based business. > Keep them out of the EU by writing your MEP, keep the market open. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?
