Jason Dunn is a great friend:
Saw your blog post. Yup, 2 GB limit. Solution? Archive PST, just like you’ve probably always had for keeping your PST file size down. If there’s really 2 GB of data that you absolutely need on the server at all times, then yeah, I guess hosted Exchange isn’t for you […]

First of all: Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi…
Next: If you’ve ever wanted an Alienware PC (and who hasn’t?) but couldn’t afford the bazillion bucks and firstborn kid, you can at least alienate your Windows XP desktop. (Sorry, no Vista. Alienware sticks with reliable operating systems.)

Gmail Manager is a straightforward extension. Better Gmail, on the other hand, is a compilation of a number of Greasemonkey scripts that were […]

Word lets you insert nonbreaking hyphens. This prevents hyphenated words, such as a phone number, from breaking when the word falls at the end of a line. For example, if the number 555-5555 falls at the end of the line, Word may move part of the number to the next line. To prevent this from […]

I have often mentioned that most of my senior clients are women. One could assume this is because men do not live as long as women in general, and therefore the senior population has more women than men. The demographics of aging are certainly a contributing factor, but that is not the whole story.
