Things that make you go hmm..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The President of my workplace just sent me an email with a dirty picture in it. *L*

Actually he was forwarding a porn spam that he got, asking whether I thought it would be a good or a bad idea to hit the “unsubscribe” link. I just spent 10 minutes telling him, in the most diplomatic way I could think of, “NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!”, and then explaining that while our ISP does have spam filters and bad word filters in place, they will never catch 100% of all the junk email that’s out there.

I probably should have added that the next time he feels the need to forward that sort of thing to me, or anyone else, he could delete out the image. On the other hand, even if I considered that to be a somewhat technical violation of our email use policy, who am I going to report him to? 🙂

    OK, so Brian commented that I’d probably get much more use out of a full-blown Pocket PC like the iPaq than I would a PDA. I tend to agree with him on that, and that’s really what I’ve been leaning toward if I decide to get something like this. In fact, I can think of…

    Yes, I’ve pretty much hated RealPlayer for a long time now, but today I hate it more! I hate having to uncheck a gazillion options to make sure I don’t get inundated with “special offers and promotions”. I hate that, for some reason, version 8 doesn’t update just a codec any longer when it runs…

    So which one would aggravate you more.
