Many a times, random things get solved by that.

Yeah if i worked in an environment that allowed me to use my surface i would Unfortunately in my workplace its not possible

I made my RT acceptable in the workplace where I am - I got told to take it off my desk the first day I bought it in because I could watch tv on it apparently - I argued that it wasn't a consumption device like an ipad and it was for productivity only. After I took it into a meeting hooked up to the projector and remote connected to my desktop to run the meeting no one argued - ipads are now banned from desks - I win. I have Halo on my tablet candy crush suckers. I win again.

LaRUE, The road to 20k is long pal.

I think you've misconstrued the idea of a 'goal' to this thread to what we normally do on this thread. There's no real goal of '20k' or any other number. It's just thread to shoot the breeze and have sometimes a good conversation or argument. There is no real goal. It's just a bit of fun. Something you've appeared to mis-comprehend.

Yeah that still wouldn't be allowed at my work place. Due to information security, you cant hook external devices up to your computers. And using any electronic devices in most meetings is a no no, and a big NO NO for using them to take notes

Wow, I thought my company was strict. There's a guy at my work who takes his iPad into meetings all the time. He even has it hooked up to the company WiFi. Most people have an iPad on their desk or a smartphone. So my IT isn't as strict as I thought. Hmmm

Also, where do you work so I know to avoid it at all costs. I'm assuming it's a high security place? At least I hope so.

Yeah its not that strict about phones at desks and what not. But due to classifications of meetings using non approved electronics is not allowed.

Lol we do have electronics that can be used but they need to be approved and encrypted. Also my work is still very much in the dark ages tech wise. Still using office 2003 and win xp.

Remember working on a nuclear plant for the MOD once - the hoops you had to go through just to get clearance to work on the job was ridiculous.

LaRue have you played with the custom tones yet on GDR3?

Haven't tried it yet. I'm going to see if there are any threads on it so I know what I'm getting myself into.

Nuclear plants are very strict. Don't blame them really.
