KC Lemson was kind enough to point to Jeff’s post with some details about changes that will be coming to Internet Explorer with Windows XP Service Pack 2. I like what I’m hearing here about the popup blocker and the Active X controls. If it works as advertised it’s definitely a step in the right direction!

On a side note, Angela’s site is currently in the process of being moved, so you may have some funkiness and it may be unreachable for some people. As with any DNS change, give it a couple of days, hopefully by the time we get back from Richmond on Monday, it’ll all be back to normal!

    For the record, this was how I spent most of my morning, and I’m passing this along in case you ever have to fix this. When someone tries to send a 135MB attachment, and it gets stuck in their Outbox in Outlook, this would seem to be the best solution. Unplug the machine from the…

    Remember back over a month ago when we were having telephone issues, and after going through our equipment vendor and the telephone company for days, back and forth, they finally declared it fixed at about 8PM on a Friday night?

    In all your experience supporting users, which is the most mis-used application, Powerpoint, or Excel? Leave your comments below. I used to think it was Powerpoint, but then I saw this Excel workbook, multiple sheets with somewhere in the area of 120 columns on each tracking various financial data going back 19 years, with no…
