I am running Lotus Notes V5.0.11.  The email client has rules you can define to disallow certain types of emails based on various words in either subject, body or both.  I love the creative types that use word variants to try and get around filters.  As if that will make me open up their garbage!  I just delete the few that get past.  The company also does a preview screening of incmong email and archives it for your reviewal.  I figure if the company caught it, no way I want it.
Hehe, Mailbox...

You know, this guy with ugly shorts walks around and puts stuff in the little box outside your house/apartment?

Is funny that these days we default to thinking about email.;-)

He's just this guy, ya know?

Recent College Graduate working nearly Full-Time as a Assistant Network Admin (networking assistant type thing).  Hoping for a "real" job soon.  Money is tight for now... but i hope it gets better.

I'm a janitor at a local grocery co-op.  I make an incredible $7.25/hr.

I'm a computer programmer for IBM. I work in research and development designing and writing prototype software. Basically IBM pays me to sit around and try to make computers do new things  :D

This gives me a modest amount of money to dump on things like magic, but I also waste it on a lot of other stuff as well. :)

Cool thats my dreamwork that I will never get! In sweden u have to have your grades from school at 19+ where 20 is the most, to get into the right education. And I'm an avarage guy at 13,5...
Glad to see you are interested in the biz. Honestly, though, we sure don't make a lot of money doing what I do! I use AutoCad, & design, draw, & modify house plans on the computer all day. Work is okay, it is insane sometimes what people want in their homes. Most houses start at $500,000 (in Cincinnati, an average income area, US-wise). Most of the homes I've designed are huge houses that have basicly no yard... most of you know what I mean. The only famous persons I've designed a home for a few ballplayers, & Peter Frampton. Most are doctors & businessmen.

But I live in a cheap apartment, am single, & can afford the cards I want by buying in bulk. I'll buy out huge collections, skim off the top, & sell off in pieces to break even. It's the only way I know how!

This is what I do too. It's the only way I can justify spending so much money on this stuff.

I am a management/finance student from Serbia, on the 3rd year of studies in Paris, will probably move to New York for an MBA next year. I am still milking money fot MTG from my parents (although I do not spend too much) but I am ashamed of that...  :-[  :)

All our jobs/studies fade compared to dragsamou's!!!! It sounds like a day-dream almost!  8)

Careful there Axios.  Bas says he is a Butchers Assistant - maybe that is a code word for Mafia Cleaner?   ;D
