Current Issue:

OCS long overdue for replacement

Abstract:
I remember very well last semester when I vented my frustration in The Mac Weekly about the increasing troubles of Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS), Macalester's current email server. I was almost sure I wouldn't have to write another article on the same topic, but alas, I have been made to share a piece of my mind yet again....

"For example, some students have missed out on jobs or internships simply because they couldn't schedule appointments in a timely manner."

That's sort of along the lines of what happened to me. I was corresponding with a specific internship program but had to turn them down for various reasons, so I sent them an e-mail during a brief period that Tuesday night when OCS was actually up.

But since it was down all day Wednesday, I fear that anything they sent back got lost in the system. Even though I didn't want the internship after all, I still wanted to know if I WOULD have gotten it, as they were down to only a few people.

I was one of the lucky ones though, I guess.
