We have a designer here, a lovely girl who's very talented, but she has an issue with emailing attachments. Today she attached two PDFs totaling...

320 megabytes...

to an email message, and then wondered why her email had stopped working.

Somebody please. Make her stop. ::sob::

We have warning messages that pop up in the email client when people try to do stupid things like that. They have to enter their unique userID to "authorise" the massive expenditure growling at them from the screen. It makes some of them stop and think, and anyone doing it anyway can't later pretend they didn't know, because the email system stores their response.

Effectively, if enough senior-level people are inconvenienced by something, measures get approved to address it.

Seems like that could work. Input a cost center code and bill it to their department, just like the old mainframes.

Sounds like an up-and-coming, forward-looking business plan that could take an enterprising go-getter right to the top!

You're right! What the hell am I doing with my life? Opportunity awaits!

Man, I hate Entourage on Macs. Will be so happy when the new Intel ones will be able to run Windows apps in OS X. That would be sweet.
