WINNING ANSWER:

Mate, got a second?

For your amusement you should check out widgets for Lotus Notes! In my humble opinion even if you are a newbie it's easy as 1-2-3. Usually my eyes glaze over about technical things but for what it's worth, they're great!

Did I tell you that yesterday, during my coffee break I had a face-to-face with the cutie from the next building? S/He said, "The new coffee machine fouled up beyond belief! They really should just keep it simple... Please let me know if it gets fixed."

Oh and by the way, my new best friend at work loves Sametime, but oh my God it's driving me crazy having to learn yet another bloody acronym. You too? Anyway, got to go, see you in the morning I'm working at home this afternoon!

Always a pleasure, see you later x
