imap server

[Digital Wokan]

Believe me, if I could get past their mentality of making me justify a
$100 piece of software, I wouldn't have even posted my comments.  With
the dot-com fallout happening, the higher-ups have a tighter grip on the
purse strings than ever before.  While you may think to yourselves that
I should probably just jump ship on these people if they aren't willing
to put forth the needed cash, I prefer to pick up the gauntlet and take
their challenge.  It will be interesting to see how much I can do with
what little I'm given to do it with.
I, for one, am very proud to be a member of the gift economy.  I pray I
can contribute as much to it as I am in need of using now.
