is he abandoning the Black Community?
is he turning his back on I.T.?
will he embrace an open source alternative, will he go Apple gay?

[dead goon]

God, I'd hate to be in his I.T. department.

Blackberry server is down! GAHHHHHHHHHH.

I think the point of the article is that, as President, he is not to be allowed to send or receive email himself.

I think the problem is that he _is_ allowed to use email. But I believe by nature of it being a 'presidential communication' it has to be disclosed to the public.

Quoting an article quoting an article:
“In addition to concerns about e-mail security, he faces the Presidential Records Act, which puts his correspondence in the official record and ultimately up for public review, and the threat of subpoenas.”

Why would you host a BES server offshore? Is your email server offshore also? If not, why have them in different places? If so, then you're always bound to have issues doing international mail hosting. BES servers are usually pretty stable.
