You gave an example using a white board and file sharing. You do NOT need: SharePoint to do that.; Posted by: DonnieBoy Posted on: 08/19/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

Here, here.... jgmsys@... | 08/19/05

What are you talking about??? No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

If you save your OpenOffice document in a shared directory, it's shared. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

I see you don't grasp the difference... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

People edit documents one at a time. Anything else is too confusing. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Your ignorance is showing... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

You can't even give one use case that makes sense. People use Share Point DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Bzzzt wrong, I gave you mine. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

You gave an example using a white board and file sharing. You do NOT need DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

RE: What are you talking about??? Linux User 147560 | 08/19/05

Your failure is not indicative of others. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

It is not just him, nobody uses this junk. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

No One? Buwahahahaha No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Gee Donnie 1,360,000 hits on Google No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Linux: 173,000,000, Samba: 5,320,000, And, most of the Share Point hits DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

RE: Your failure is not indicative of others. Linux User 147560 | 08/19/05

Gee, your home grown system must have sucked. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/20/05

RE: Gee, your home grown system must have sucked. Linux User 147560 | 08/20/05

I see you would be lost without Microsoft. B.O.F.H. | 08/19/05

Really, so you have used Sharepoint No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Well??? No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Try to give just one use case and describe how Share Point helps you. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Ok... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

So you are just using the white board?? You can't even give a usefull case. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

In your limited world, maybe... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

I want a list of corporations that do anything usefull with Share Point. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

DonnieBoy, Google is your frined. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Hits on Google doesn't mean they are doing anything usefull with SharePoint DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Yeah Donnie, 1,360,000 people wrote about something no one uses. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Well, Samba got 5,320,000, Linux got 173,000,000 DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

No_Ax, you really are lost without MIcrosoft, aren'y you? B.O.F.H. | 08/19/05

Donnie, like it or not. You don't tell the world what to use. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Man give one interesting use case or shut up. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Look down Donnie... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Tell Larry Elison that you need SharePoint to put a database online!! DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Wow Donnie, 95% of the world is "stupid" and you are? God? No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/20/05

95% do NOT use share point to put a database on line. DonnieBoy | 08/20/05

Unlikely. Anton Philidor | 08/19/05

Let's look at that a second... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Sun primarily a hardware company? Anton Philidor | 08/19/05

Comparitively speaking... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Okay. Anton Philidor | 08/19/05

It was "unlikely" that Sun and MS would stop fighting... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

IBM sells services and hardware... Anton Philidor | 08/19/05

Sun has said they do not want to be a services company. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Donnie, the example you need so badly. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Oh, you need SharePoint to put a database online? Pass that on to Oracle!! DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

Your ignorance is showing again. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

The example you gave would be better done with PDF. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

No one said you couldn't do it the hard way. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

The kludge would be using an insecure buggy OS when you have great DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

And 95% of the world says no thanks, I'd rather use MS Office. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

News flash, about 100% of users can handle PDF files. DonnieBoy | 08/19/05

RE: Donnie, the example you need so badly. Linux User 147560 | 08/19/05

And a hammer can drive a screw... No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

RE: And a hammer can drive a screw... Linux User 147560 | 08/19/05

Ok Podunck Mayor. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/19/05

Ever hear of ODBC? Hugh Jass | 08/19/05

And if you want to build your own system, go for it. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/20/05

RE: Ok Podunck Mayor Linux User 147560 | 08/19/05

Annoying zelots is a fun time. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/20/05

RE: Annoying zelots is a fun time. Linux User 147560 | 08/20/05

That is the half-assed way to do it. Hugh Jass | 08/19/05

That is cetainly the minority view point. No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/20/05

RE: That is cetainly the minority view point. Linux User 147560 | 08/20/05

Actually, I don't care what my clients use... Hugh Jass | 08/21/05
