Too bad. I just hope our next laptops don't have Vista on them... I
already don't have enough memory and IT refuses to acknowledge that. "You
should close Outlook and IE before you open RightFax."

I don't know if you guys can get away with it but a lot of
us are using machines not supported by IT. Our managers and
grandmanagers are okay with that.

ObDog: This Iditarod is turning out to be a corker. Lots of
early scratches, including two of the big guns (Doug
Swingley and DeeDee Jonrowe, both of whom had to pull out
because of injuries). Sleds are being destroyed by awful
trails, and there's a 10 mile stretch of no snow and lots of
18" tussocks. Amazing.
