One of these days I will ask the people I work with "what is the best way to file an application?" or "what is the best way to sweep a floor?". Regardless, I've been asked many times as to what is the best anti-spam solution. Great question... I don't know. I use a dump account anytime I need to register something, one for friends, another for work, one for online business, and another for personal stuff. I rarely recieve spam. So, while exicuting good judgement and not giving real e-mail address to porn and shopper sites I stay spam free. Great for me, but it makes me clueles to the best anti-spam software for e-mail clients. So gang, the next time the shipping/receiving guy asks me "Whats the best spam software?" what should I tell him? any good experiences with said product?

Plant Manager: "Hey [livejournal.com profile] samwize, can you do a spell check in Excell?"

Me: "Uh...yeah. Just hit F7. It's an office program."

*clickclickclackclick*

"Hmm. It's not working."

"Huh. Try this: type into a new cell, DON'T hit enter, then hit F7."

*clickclickclackclick*

"Nope. I must be doing something wrong..."

*sigh* "OK, lemme take a look at what you're doing..."

"Well, watch. I click in the cell," *click*, "start typing," *clickclickclackclick*, "and hit F7." *Hold down 'F' + Hold down '7'*

"..."

"You see?"

"....Yeah....Yeah, I do....Ok, here's your problem..."


Oh, MAN! The people I work with....

WTF?

Side note - our ISP charges by data download - you pay for a set amount per month and if you go over your limit, you're speedcapped until either you buy more data for the month or you wait until the 1st of the next month. The data reset normally happens at midnight.

TISR = Your friendly CSR
TW = Total Twerp

TISR: *Beep* good evening, my name is [livejournal.com profile] reynardo, how can I help you?

TW:YOU'VE STILL GOT ME SPEEDCAPPED AND IT SHOULD HAVE RESET TODAY AND I CAN'T ACCESS THE INTERNET AND YOU PROMISE TO RESET THE DATA ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH!!!!

TISR:Sir, it's the 31st of January. The reset happens tonight at midnight.

TW:Oh. Shit. Sorry. <*beep*beep*beep*beep*>
