Of course, today, any calendar worth its salt needs a lifeline to the cloud
I have one of those big desk calendars and it works just fine for me and my gf to know what I'm up to.

Ah, but can you drop pieces off of it to cause foot damage late at night? Can you rearrange it to make rude messages? I think not.

I was thinking you can take the same lego pieces to the budget meeting before clipping them on the calendar.
It comes off as nerdy as hell, but it kind-of is a good way to make numbers more tangible, I guess.
The downside is that more detailed information has has to be typed in manually anyway; so what's the purpose then?
Wouldn't it be better if it was the other way around? (You fill your Google calendar and a Mindstorms robot would come and put lego on the board?)

That definitely would be much better!

So it's easy to pass off work that you don't want to do -- all you need is a tube of modelling glue.

My employer's going to be increasing my mailbox quota from 150MB to 5GB as part of an exchange server upgrade. Since my PST is 3.5GB in size I believe this means if I wanted I could store all of my email on the server instead of using local disk apace for it.
I'm not sure if doing so is a good idea though. The obvious gotcha is that if the exchange server is down I won't be able to look for messages I sent in 2005;  but I'm not sure what else I should be thinking about but am not.

Would you still have (local) backups of the mail?

Unless i delete it I'll still have a copy as of when I switched it over on my network share; but freeing diskspace to minimize the cheapskatedness of whoever picks out standard laptops is one of the features I'm looking forward to. Having to manage space on undersized drives might waste $100-300 of my time a year but that wastage isn't billed against corporate IT so it's not their problem.

Outlook can keep a copy of your emails in your .OST file so that when you are offline you would still have them.
However, 3.5 Gigs of emails means you need to do some cleanup. Get friendly with the delete button.

Are you offering to pay me to go through tens of thousands of messages to sort out the 1% I might need to refer to at some point in the future?
PS I'll also need to borrow your time machine so I can ask my future self which things I thought I'd never need to care about will be asked about in the next few years.

Not quite. Compulsive Disorder Obsessive. Just like OCD except that it's in Alphabetical Order The Way It's Supposed To Be!

Cheaper than paying you to search through umpty-zillion un-organised e-mails God only knows how many times, to find details that would be hard to find even if the e-mails were organised.

I don't use exchange server - I use Outlook and local files.
But...I archive a copy of my PST file every three months, and then delete everything older than four months before compacting it. That way, I can still get at all my old stuff, and Outlook doesn't slow down as the file grows. Works for me, but then I'm a bit paranoid about backups!

Outlook still makes a local copy in the form of as .ost file, so you should be able to search offline.

You're forgetting about being able to take that data with you should you ever leave. I have a sweat gig worked out that has paid off having old emails (nothing like getting paid to attach a PST file, find an email from a year prior and send it off).
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I strongly suspect what you're suggesting would be grounds for firing if I was caught. (Moving company proprietary information onto a non company computer.)
