Please go away.

Exchange ActiveSync does the vast majority of what everyone uses in BES -- and it's included with Exchange. Seriously RIM -- let it go. I know this was a major cash cow for you then and now. But really, we're over you. Just setup your mobile devices up to use EAS and simplify all of our lives -- and costs.

It's really not so much to ask.

10:42 am - Back from vacation

Just returned from Florida. edarc and I spent the weekend in Orlando with smtpboy and rysar. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando thanks to smtpboy's Hilton points.

Had a great time. The weather on Friday was perfect - perfectly miserable, yet we managed to have a really good time running around the Magic Kingdom and going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Of course, as luck would have it, the weather was getting progressively better as our trip went on and starting today they were expecting highs in the 80's. That makes perfect sense since we left yesterday. We managed to hit the high spots of each theme park over the 4 days we were there. So much more to do - though, I suspect that if I never hear the Boston Pops version of Sleigh Ride again I would die a happy man.

edarc hadn't been to Disney World in a long time (and never as an adult) and I really hope he had a good time running around with a bunch of Disney geeks. I was rather concerned about that before we left -- tho I believe he ended up having an enjoyable trip.

I do have some issues that need to be discussed with AirTran regarding the flights to Orlando, in particular. I think an old-fashioned letter to them will suffice.

Now -- why isn't it as warm here as it was in Florida yesterday?
