LEAD STORY
IT product release dates annoy, bore users  (SearchWin2000.com)
Administrators who rush out to buy software on product release dates can count themselves in the minority, according to a new survey. But while many say such release dates are artificial milestones, some find them helpful as IT planning guides.

ASK CHRISTA ANDERSON
Other users' auto-mapped printers in TS
Dear Christa:
I have a Terminal Server set up for multiple user access using a common domain account. My users are using Remote Desktop Connection. Hence, their network printers can be seen in the TS session. However, when users are logged into TS, they see each other's auto-mapped printers in their TS session as well. Is there a way to rectify this problem?

BEST WEB LINKS
Windows Server 2003
It seemed like it would never get here, but now that it has, it's time to take stock of Windows Server 2003. If you're seriously considering an upgrade or just curious about Microsoft's next generation operating system, these links are prime reading.


THE MISSING LINK
Too much SMS prompts SOS from text addicts

Text messaging isn't just a national obsession in the U.K., it's an unnatural obsession. While many Brits love to tap away on their mobile phones, some of them just can't stop. One of Britain's best-known behavioral clinics is treating more and more people who have addictions to SMS -- some patients had been spending seven hours per day text messaging. There's no telling when SMS will hit the addiction "big time" in the U.S. and warrant a wing in the Betty Ford clinic.
