I talked to my local MCSE buddy, the one who got most of his experience in his current job doing OJT, and he had lots of really good things to say about Exchange.

There was a time a few years ago when it was possible. 56K modems really raise the bar, though; it (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
