[Sussex] Is this a "cop out" ?

[Tony Austin]

I am running Outlook 2000 quite "happily" (in the sense that it works)
from my Linux desktop using CrossOver Office, so I'm not sure what the
problem would be in using this a short-term solution until something else
could be put in place.

And, yes, I'm sure that the right shared calendar application could be
found to run under Linux.

getting old and the hardware is getting old. We know we've got to move but
we have no funding to do so at present.</quote>

It's hard to imagine where he will get the funding from if he continues to
throw money down the drain.
