It seems to lessen, yes. I should have thought of that as well. I can't
move them any further apart unfortunately, but I'll see if I've got
anything like a steel sheet to put between them for the moment, test out
a few of my baking sheets :-)

Thanks Ben -

Deb.

I used to think Peep Show was kinda gay.

But I have started smoking the herb again recently. I am in hysterics.

Like South Park, this show is best appreciated when stoned.

And .. why was the fat guy the PC? and the other one the Mac?

I saw the ads ALL OVER tube stations in central London (several months
ago now)

  another boring iphone post: Exchange Server         


Author: Gaz
Date: Feb 3, 2008 15:11

Does anyone have any eta when we can expect full exchange server
compatibility? It is the only thing that is stopping me from using my iphone
at the moment. I *need* calendar, email and contact syncing, just like every
other smartphone on the market has.

I do remember reading that Apple have someone on the payroll to develop
exchange, just wondering if anyone has any updates? As my iphone, fantastic
as it is in many ways, gathers dust.

So I understand. But given how many people go to the cinema nowadays,
what was the point?
