Id love to but it takes like 2 months to get an IT person to come around when you submit a ticket. No shit.

What are they paying him? I'll replace him and be at your beckon call. No shens.

you never said but I'm guessing you did check the envelope box and it's STILL not working?

***Restart****

lol


I have too much shit I have to log in and out of to make a restart worth it.
Ill shut it down at the end of the day and restart in the morning.
If that doesnt fix it Ill go out into the shop and get a hammer.

I am sure the restart will work. My systray gets all jarbled at least once a week cause I hardly ever restart. As soon as I restart it works fine

Entirely possible. Ill shut er down at the end of the day and see in the morning.
I wonder if Id get in trouble if I installed thunderbird and used it for email instead?
