The darnedest thing...

I have a trick I use when composing an email draft that I don't want to accidentally send, I type the name 'noone' in the To field. Why? Because eons ago I worked with an emailer that wouldn't let you leave that field blank before composing the mail, and I got into the habit.

It's nice, because while you could type in the name of the person you want to send it to, appended with 'notyet' or something, autocompletion of names frequently makes that more troublesome than not. Silly, but true.

Anyway, today at work I did that, and the LDAP autosearch popped up someone with that last name, filled out the address completely for someone in the UK. Poop. I guess I have to hope nobody has the last name 'nobody'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

'No Body Messages' in *Brazil*!

That's why most Mac zealots don't buy MS products, too--BECAUSE they're MS products.

I buy MS products because I get 'em for COGS at the Company Store.

Hard to beat the price... heck, I bought MS Office at UNC. At $10, it was actually worth it to have on hand. ;)
