oh fuck. please. no. no. no. Apple locks things down, gives you few choices, few integration points. I love the direction that Microsoft is headed (and they likewise are sitting on a mountain of cash). For developers they're executing

I'm in healthcare. I'm not kidding you, we got an 800 page fax last month from one of our clients. It wasn't a generated e-fax either, we received it electronically (we use sfax), but the lady who sent it literally printed
