Although, I can't say that I've been reading it as much as I'd like, from what I see, I like it very much. In fact, I purchased an extra copy and gave it to one of my former Jr admins. Excellent recommendation! -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:51 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Book Recommendation Cool.
