...though only G*d in her infinite wisdom knows why....
Consider the following from ICTS this morning:
"We are pleased to announce that solutions to a number of identified problems have been implemented. After Novell identified a number of bugs in their code, they wrote and tested fixes, which they then provided to us. This has improved the stability of the GroupWise system significantly. We have included more technical details below, should this interest you."
....
Thank you for your continued support while we address these problems.Regards,
ICTS Communications"
So what happened VERY soon after I read this?? Why, I noticed that GroupStupid! seemed reluctant to take notice of keystrokes...then crashed. I opened it up again, it considerately offered me my half-composed-and-very-important-message-to-patent-lawyers back again, so I continued - right up to the point when it crashed AGAIN. This time, losing all the attachments I had so carefully added....
I said bad words. I crashed around the office. I kicked things. I reopened GroupSTUPID!!!! AGAIN, redid all the attachments - saving it twice while doing so - and sent the message off. I could have DRIVEN it down to Research Office quicker!!!
I reiterate: Group STUPID!!!!!! is a clunky frakkin' piece of sh1t, and we must GET RID OF IT!!!!!

I have since left UCT and the woes of GroupStupid BUT as it turns out my new work email programme is the prehistoric LOTUS NOTES. And for the first time in almost 3 years I can say I miss Groupwise! Lotus notes wont load at all for me and IT loaded a program called kill_notes_processes on my pc to help out with the situation. Only thing is that I really wish I could KILL LOTUS NOTES...:-).Give us Groupwise!!!

*Groupwise* is not the problem. I have a UWC Groupwise account, with which I've never had a moment's problems.
UCT's inscarnation of Groupwise, OTOH...
