It has to be Comcast, Liese, since I have the same issues whether I'm using Outlook at home or the webmail.
It's a real burden being right so often.

You need to send this info to Wired, Engadget, or Gizmodo. They probably would love to check this out.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Not so hypothetical question: say you're in a humanities research institute. Which softwares and hardwares you couldn't live without, and which would make you life easier? What would you like to see there, tech-wise?
Dream big. I want to see if there's anything beyond the OCR/DVD/VCR things that might make their lives easier.

Can the drobo (or something like this) be accessed from other computers at any given time, password-protected? I'm thinking of remote access to few people, but they have to be protected.
