Thanks for the reminder. Brain now remembers why it was researching IMAP
before and why I build up another boxen (to use as an IMAP server -
duh!). Too many other projects have overflowed the stack.
OT - but does anyone know how to give a clueby to someone on sound
recording for making DVD videos. A simple 5 minute visit to show an
external video conversion boxen turned into a rather numbing morning
trying to get through to someone that sound isn't that hard and you
don't need to buy a whole pile of boxen (and why the fsck did you spend
money on a hand held cassette when it won't do what you want).
Thankfully it isn't my money {:-), but it is still hard watching friends
waste money on unneccessay crap that doesn't do the job. Less hard is
when they "I was told by so and so" and you have politely say explain
why it is, yet again, totally inappropriate, rather than say "what
would that idiot know and how much did he make from you". Sigh!.
