You guys were commenting that Google maps opens on North America by default. There is a option to set Johannesburg as your default map and works awesomely. Everytime I’m looking for an address I just type in street and suburb. No need to type in South Africa everytime.

Got to say Jons Uber Tech Tip last week about the keyboard lead being
an antenna for key stroke capturing and this episode’s intel cache exploit is
pretty interesting, cool geek/uncool reality content.

On Lotus Notes. We migrated from lotus notes to exhange five years ago and we are considering to migrate back to lotus again. In my experiance it is a very powerfull product that just never breaks and has awesome features, unlike exchange. Reason it is not bigger in SA is people in SA are very MS star struck !!
