User comes in my office a week ago looking to purchase a PDA phone that will work with our Exchange menu. I tell them the best phone to buy and they go out and buy something completely different. Now I am stuck trying to get this POS to talk to our server. Should be a 2 minute job.

WHY ASK MY ADVICE IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE OPPOSITE?!?!?

I know what you mean and then some, try getting them to work with Lotus Notes, now there is a headache that no one wants and I'm lucky enough to get stuck with every damn time

*JeepinJeff* · 03-23-2007, 4:05 PM

I put my time in with Lotus Notes. GOD I hated dealing with that. Much happier with Exchange.

Dude, I have to pay $200 per bike to park them in the city...That is why I only keep one at a time here, and I swap them out...I couldn't live so far from my bikes...I don't know how you do it.

Is that $200 a month? Year? ??

Natezlvnit · 03-26-2007, 1:18 AM

Per month...My CRV, the only car I keep in the city for obvious reasons, costs $400 per month...

I have to use the garage, because I had a bike stolen off the street (they unbolted a light-pole--freaking insane) and though not mine, many cars get vandalized locally (windows smashed, seats cut up, why?) so I gotta pay.

so you pay 600 a month to be able to just have you vehicles in the city wow that is almost my house payment.

If i could afford to keep my bike up here right now then I would, But seeings how I live 6 hours from my bike and I moved up here in the winter, I didn't see the point in pulling it out of my grandparents garage to put it on a truck I'd have to rent to bring it up here only to have to find a place to park it. Ah well very shortly I'll be making the 9 hour bus ride back home to turn around and make a 6 hour bike ride back up here.

*sinfuldragon* · 03-26-2007, 5:17 PM

6 hours on an F1? WOW I hope its more comfortable than my f4i!!!!

WOW...I knew the cost of living was nuts there but I had no idea that you needed to pay that much just to park. That is an expense I would not have thought about.

I was pissed off that my school made me buy a separate parking sticker for each vehicle, both car and bike, even though I can never have more than one of them parked there at a time. They were $40 each for the entire year, actually they might be good for both of the years that we are on campus? My undergrad university (Idaho State) allowed you to buy a removable sticker that you could use on any vehicle so you could have five different vehicles for that one parking sticker that I think was about $60 a year. Motorcycle stickers there were only $10 a year and each building had parking for them right at the front door.

I'm planning on buying a little tiny pillow to put under my jacket so I can rest a little more on the tank. Thats my plan.

The college I go to issues parking cards so when you leave you either have to pay 3 dollars for the day or you swipe your card and your good to go. So it doesnt matter what you're driving, as long as you have your electronic card then you're good.

My former law schools (both, as I was in a combined program w/two schools) allowed parking for free, at all but the downtown NYC campuses, for up to 3 vehicles per student...There was a sticker, and a validation-date sticker for each academic year...Again, this was free...

Regular posted rates at a local commercial garage, with a before-tax discount, was available for the downtown NYC campus. My schools were in White Plains, NY and New Haven, CT.

We get a discount for the car...At the local garages, the regular monthly rate is around $550.00, so the total would be $1850.00 per month for my 911 (a $150 premium for an "exotic" bullshit), CR-V, 929, RC-51, and V45, if they were all kept in the city. As we only pay $500.00 for maintenance on our apartment, that seems really sick to pay more than three times the cost of a residence to pay to park bikes and cars...The worst was trying to insure the 929 in 2001...Progressive wanted, as parked on a garage on our street, $7500.00 per year...The purchase price before accessories, care plan, etc. was only $8000, so this seemed crazy. I made other arrangements.

I know. I know. I'm not that stupid.

The fact I live so far from work. Indiana weather changes at the drop of a hat. If I lived closer, I could ride in and run home if it started to cloud up. ( yes I'm a wuss and avoid the rain at all costs )
It's about an hour round trip for me to home and back so I will usually take the saturn or the Jeep unless there's 0 chance of rain.

*sinfuldragon* · 03-27-2007, 1:42 PM

0 chance of rain in Indiana... I'm not sure I have ever seen such a thing
