How do you people stand working with this? I very rarely do anything in Windows, but rumour and such had made me believe that things worked quite well under it as long as you didn't try to do anything unusual. But that proves not to be the case. Unless using "Windows Update" or syncing a PDA counts as unusual. The Update thing dies without even a message one time out of three, and goes unbelievably slow the other two (as in, if I let it be it'd be finished some time in late January). When the iPaq syncs, my account in the Windows domain becomes locked and has to be unlocked by IT Services (they're getting a bit tired of it by now).
After many trials, I got a net connection from the iPaq via GPRS. For some reason, though, it only seems able to reach cyberPoMo. Connection attempts to LiveJournal and work's webmail both time out. This is quite weird.
