I am the CIO of DSBPI and I have decided to junk our Microsoft Exchange server and Outlook in favor of Gmail. Now I won't get those calls from Harlan in the IT department on weekends screaming about some corrupted .PST file or some such nonsense. I won't have to send out those system administrator "Mailbox Over Size Limit" emails and I won't have to keep on adding storage because the bird-brained DSBPI analysts never delete attachments. OK, so GMAIL doesn't have a calendar yet. Use a pen meanwhile. I'll send you a pack of those Pilot Vball Grips in Extra Fine that you love. OK, so you have to look at some ads with your mail. Ninety percent of your email is not work related anyway - I know, I read it.

Oh yeah, since there are no more out-of-office auto-replies, you can reach me in Langkawi if you need a new Blackberry or something.
