Post #244,336 by boxley 2/12/06 7:00:51 PM Reply	disagree, recently sent a example of an application being used totally inapropriatly to the point of hindering workers efforts to the listusers. I think american productivity would grow by 10% if excell sudenly was incapable of being used and people were forced to look at anything else. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep

Post #244,484 by pwhysall 2/14/06 1:48:21 AM Reply	I need to have me a look at that I have yet to find time to give that the attention it deserves. I suspect that I'm going to come to the same conclusion that I have now, which is that you can't develop the same functionality "properly" without spending a lot more money and/or time. Whether it's a net win/lose for the users is anyone's guess, because the alternative doesn't exist.

Wow. - (Arkadiy) - (81) - Feb. 4, 2006, 08:59:38 PM EST

Did you see HTML on the list? - (ben_tilly) - (79) - Feb. 6, 2006, 04:09:49 PM EST

OK, could you explain? - (Arkadiy) - (78) - Feb. 11, 2006, 07:03:26 PM EST

A crutch - (Arkadiy) - Feb. 13, 2006, 06:29:12 PM EST

I need to have me a look at that - (pwhysall) - Feb. 14, 2006, 01:48:21 AM EST

I'd like that to be true, but don't think it is - (drewk) - (58) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:25:14 PM EST

Ive used that treehouse design, didnt think too much of it - (boxley) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:51:29 PM EST

You are a prisoner of your assumptions and conditioning - (tuberculosis) - (55) - Feb. 12, 2006, 11:53:09 PM EST

my point is that people use what they know - (boxley) - (2) - Feb. 13, 2006, 08:30:08 AM EST

Yes - exactly - (tuberculosis) - (1) - Feb. 13, 2006, 04:42:47 PM EST

There's a central point we seem to differ on - (drewk) - (51) - Feb. 13, 2006, 09:04:53 AM EST

Yes, you can only think of one thing at a time - (tuberculosis) - (50) - Feb. 13, 2006, 04:55:43 PM EST

If I missed your point, it's because you forgot to make it - (drewk) - (49) - Feb. 13, 2006, 09:00:32 PM EST

But the applications *are* the walls - (tuberculosis) - (48) - Feb. 13, 2006, 10:50:05 PM EST

They're also inevitable - (drewk) - (47) - Feb. 14, 2006, 09:32:04 AM EST

That's what client-side encryption is for -NT - (drewk) - Feb. 14, 2006, 07:26:09 PM EST

As far as most recipients are concerned, it does - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Feb. 14, 2006, 07:29:26 PM EST

like windows, its the perception of security that counts -NT - (boxley) - (1) - Feb. 14, 2006, 08:25:23 PM EST

It is more complex than that - (ben_tilly) - Feb. 14, 2006, 09:50:40 PM EST
