I just installed the very newest GroupWise client, and it promptly began to pop up alarms for events on my calendar beginning in 2002. It’s like watching my life flash before my eyes. So weird…and since it’s only work stuff, from long-departed friends, a little depressing. (This is not a tech support post, just a “the irregulars will enjoy the rich, savory SNAFU” post) ---

I guess you have all the luck.[/color] So my response to kgroneman’s comment is… I didn’t get any old notifications in my test system when I went to R2.
