Again

I cringed as I walked back to do my 300 and saw Mr Exercise ball back there again.  I looked at the guys face more this time.  He typically has a look on his face like a toad that ate a sour fly.  Once again as I am busting ass trying to go from one ass breaking exercise to another, this guy is doing his stupid, worthless ball moves, taking extended nap’s in between.  I was so annoyed.  I resorted to banging shit around.  If he won’t leave on his own, maybe I can drive him out from the sound of a 135 pound barbell banging off the floor 50 times.  No such luck, he stayed the entire time.  I WILL drive him out, one way or another.  I can’t take looking at this guy f’ing off.

So one of the big reasons I wanted to upgrade Ali’s Treo 750 to Windows Mobile 6 was because WM6 supports HTML email, you know, the type of email that has embedded graphics and pictures in it.  With WM5, when you get an HTML email you get the text links to these images but not the images themselves.  It’s a bit annoying. So anyway I was confused when I was looking at HTML email on Ali’s phone and still saw it had the annoying text links in it.  I did a little digging around and found out the perturbing facts.  WM6 does support html email as long as you are pulling via POP or something along those lines.  However if you are activesynching with Exchange, ONLY Exchange 2007 will allow you to see html email.  That is bullshit.  To require someone to migrate to Exchange 2007 to do this is an obvious ploy by MSFT to force upgrades that have no real reason to occur. Small Businesses don’t need ENTERPRISE level messaging but yet that is the only option MSFT has left for those wishing to upgrade.

  It wouldn’t be such a big deal if MSFT didn’t make Exchange 2007 such a huge pain in the ass pig to deploy.  It REQUIRES that you install it on a 64 bit version of Windows Server which means new, expensive 64 bit compatible hardware and no easy upgrade path for someone running any of the prior Exchange versions.  You basically have to install Exchange 2007 on it’s own dedicated box and migrate mailboxes across.  Well in my little home network running on rubber bands and paper clips, this isn’t going to work very well.  It pisses me off.  Ali could care less about not having html email on her phone, it bugs me though.  All the MSFT would have to do is change a couple lines of code and Exchange 2003 could deliver HTML email just fine and dandy.
