Guess I'll suck it up... really the only "problem" is the annoyance of having to load it for him. :D

Identify the problem (if there is one) of him continuing to use it. Tell him the benefit to him will be if he changes. Ask yourself is it really a problem, or is it just frustrating to have (I assume) one person not using a loose standard. I hate exceptions too, but sometimes me being a little annoyed is the only real "cost", in which case I do as I'm told...

My boss is getting ready to get a new (to him) computer in a few days. He abso-freakin-lutely is devoted to his Lotus suite. He uses Outlook and I think he even uses Word, but prefers to use Lotus 123. I would *really* like to get him off that, as it's a PITA to reinstall that on every freakin' machine he gets! :D Anyone got any suggestions on how to get him to give up his Lotus?
