      I didn't know that Google used ActiveSync.

      As for Rackspace using it - yeah they do, but they charge you for that type of access, it's not in their baseline package.

      True but it is super cheap.

      Yeah, it's $2/month vs. $1/month. Not exactly breaking the bank.

        That is a 100% increase though. Double the cost of the service per user.

          Double the cost is definitely significant.

            Yes, but not all users need ActiveSync. Usually only managers and above, and users that travel. So you can say that 60-70% of most people in a business don't need it. That'd be a pretty fair statement.

              That's true, it's case by case. And the $1 price is just SW / ML pricing. Normal customers are $2. So the ActiveSync is only a 50% premium in those cases.

                Rant Part Two:

                When I started this new job, I knew we had 8or 9 servers (only 1 real server); almost 300 users across more than 9 counties. I had an office with a window and a storage room.

                I was moved to a different office but kept my storage room... until they needed it for two new employees,.. so my office got some, and..what do you mean there is more computer stuff in the next room....

                So much of the main crap went into the other room and part in my office...

                Now - I've lost my limited about of storage to Fiscal files. The bulk of it is now under my desk, stacked to the ceiling.

                If I should stop contributing - you might call the office to see if I've been crushed by it all... What's the line from 'Major Tom'?

                "Tell my wife I love her,...."

                  I hate it when offices slowly diminish over time.
