...especially since in Exchange 2k, OWA looks EXACTLY like Outlook 2000
to most users. Make a shortcut on this user's desktop that points to
http://servername/exchange. Change the icon to the Outlook 2000 icon.
See how long it takes this user to notice.
Get this user on the plain text bandwagon[1]. Free Shiners [2] for all!
