    Why oh why does our Exchange server choose holidays to die? Last time it was Easter. Today I was 1 hour through watching The Return of the King for a second time when I noticed the light on my phone come on. I exited the cinema and discovered that my intuition was correct - the caller had been my boss hoping for help. Needless to say no more movie watching for me, and an afternoon of trying to coax the HDD back to life :sigh:. Worse still, we are still using Arcserve for our backups. What a pig to set up for Exchange, but totally necessary to restore our backups. It's probably too much to hope that another day of work (tomorrow) will free me up to enjoy the rest of the holiday this week. :((

      That's why I'll be running off screaming through the door when the company decides to give me a phone. X| Better luck for the rest of the holidays! Hey, at least you're (supposed to be) on holidays. G. Raven
