I blew away linux on my laptop, and reinstalled XP. I did this for a variety of reasons, and each and every one of them pissed me off. Where to begin? Because there's no Lotus Notes client for linux, I was using the crippled web access. That could at least get me through the day. But I was notified earlier this week that I'm required to run two discreet Lotus Notes sessions - my employers, and my clients. The client's web access is not turned on. I have a VPN client for linux, OSX, XP, and Solaris - and have been able to get them all to connect. However, my Sprint Air Card linux hack (which causes the Air Card to run at approximately half-speed (still good broadband, but...) won't allow the VPN to tunnel through it. This laptop is my freedom from the office, and it absolutely had to work. How come I can't just get a nice Macbook Pro?
Lastly, I'm running two SameTime connections. "No problem," you think, "Use meanwhile." Yes, you'd think. Now, I don't blame

Oh, what burdens. I kept trying to bring up all my windows ala Expose-style with my Beryl Window Manager hotkeys to no avail. XP is so very limiting. At the same time, at least I can now work productively, remotely.
