Paperless meetings

[Zanza]

Oh really?  I thought my LotusNotes password only works on my work computer.  But it is still useless, because I don't even know what my password is.  I use a feature called single signon or something.  I only need to remember my windows password.  That'll unlock some pre-set programme and helps me type out all other passwords automatically.  So I have no idea what my LotusNotes password is.

So did you ever try Lotus Notes with a computer other than your own? If they have single sign on, it might just work on every computer, not just yours. After all, you probably had to login into that meeting room laptop too, no?

Point 2 - I'll try if I can get someone to install the office 2000 drop down menus to the paperless meeting laptops.

If you have sufficient rights on your computer, you can just download and install it yourself:

EDIT: Just noticed it costs money, so better try via an admin.

That doesn't excuse you.

Learn keyboard shortcuts.

Those belong to the dark side of the force.

ctrl+x, ctrl+c and ctrl+v are the best thing ever. You can do it, Mono, you can...change.

And that works up until you use eMacs or some other program that refuses to use the standard shortcuts.

At our work we had Lotus Notes ( ). It required setting up your mail account on every computer you logged in on.

It does use standard shortcuts... for Unix.

Seriously though, I find emacs' religious devotion to "The Unix Way" highly annoying.  Gvim by default conforms to whatever platform its being installed on.

I suspect that won't be a problem for Mono.

No, I've never tried to log onto Lotus notes on another computer.  In my mind, every computer is a stand alone. 

No, I didn't have to log into that meeting room laptop.  See, we prepared the laptops for use by the higher-ups.  We don't want them to worry about things like login-ids and passwords, so we got that one out of the way before they came in.

HK seems to have a major security flaw right there.

Yeah, something like that would be immediately shot down by our IT policies and procedures.

To be fair, most of mono's story thus far would be shot down by standard IT policies and practices.  Every place I've worked around a computer, everyone was retrained when software was changed, nonstandard frontends were verbot (for the reason of employees similar to mono whom I've worked with who absolutely refused to learn the new software), and logins are always, always required.  Hell, if I took a bathroom break, I had to log out and log back in.

If one of my bosses forgets his password or login ID, the only way I can get out of that room is in a coffin.

Your bosses are worse than mine. In fact, *they* might get fired in such an instance (though a call to the IT helpdesk will solve the issue by resetting the passwords).

If they can't figure out how to log in, they don't have the skills necessary to do their jobs. Let them look like fools.
