It's okay, SteveDallas. You don't need to feel bad about joining the iCrowd. It's not like this is an ideal that you need to sacrifice your life for, all screaming freeedooommm like William Wallace while they draw and quarter you.

I myself am probably going to retire the old Blackberry and get an iPhone (gasp) --and 99% of the reason is because I am increasingly expected to understand these iThings, but I don't have access to them for testing. I've identified a stable app to access Outlook OWA, and that was the last thing keeping me hooked on my old physical-keyboard Bb.



Personal note to Undertoad, since we are keeping track of posts we remember reading, when you chastised me for being an XP SP3 / IE7 fundamentalist, you were right, of course. This is relevant here because regulatory pressures are forcing my industry out of the comfort zone.
