I had to make a comment.<br /><br />There is a scandal in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador inside the government. Okay, that isn't anything new, all government have scandals. The US certainly has their share.<br /><br />But the investigation is being held up because the IT department can't seem to find emails. And they are blaming it on the fact that they have switched from Novell GroupWise to Outlook.<br /><br />Okay, for those who read my column, you know that this is a red flag for me. Outlook isn't an email system, it is an email client that works with email systems like Exchange and GroupWise.<br /><br />For the paper to report that the government is claiming that GroupWise can't find the emails and that they switched to Outlook to help them find the email 9 months later is crazy.<br /><br />So, if you have a moment, do your civic duty and let the uninformed editor of The Western Star know that he or she got it wrong. Here is a link to the article:<br /><br />http://www.thewesternstar.com/index.cfm?sid=123270&amp;sc=506<br /><br />And if you want to contact the editor directly here is his contact information:<br /><br />THE WESTERN STAR<br /><b>Richard Williams</b> - Managing Editor<br /> <a href="mailto:rwilliams@thewesternstar.com">rwilliams@thewesternstar.com</a><br />Phone: 709-637-4668<br /><br /><br />I'm even willing to put my money where my mouth is. GWAVA is willing to fund the GroupWise portion of the investigation of the scandal in Newfoundland and Labrador just to show how quickly and easily it can be done.<br /><br />Richard BlissRichard Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06711443052326619281noreply@blogger.com
