All of these movies get a "thumb drive up" from me:

1.  IIt's a Wonderful Database
In this holiday favorite, an executive realizes the wealth of information he has in his personal address book.

2.   8 1/2
A film within a film about the next major Notes release, from a director who prefers fractions to decimals.

3.  @Transform-ers
Two opposing sets of data modification agents cause conflicts throughout the system.

4.  Bodyfield
A monster-sized rich-text field consumes network traffic and defies attempts to export or display its data. (Visual warning: this movie was shot using a shaky Lotus Screen Cam).

5.  Old Yellow
This children's classic tells of a young admin who takes over an abandoned V3 group mail database. He slowly learns to appreciate it before it intercepts an email virus that could have infected the entire company.

6.  SharePoint Break
An FBI agent goes Web surfing to find a gang of bank robbers, who turn out to be a small IT department trying to get the money to pay for their "free" SharePoint technology. Starrng Patrick Swayedeasily.

7.  Lotus Reno 911
An irreverent look at what happens when a business partner "helps" a police department.

8.  Blog Day Afternoon
A Notes developer holds his users hostage as he spends his time reading blogs related to Yellow Day. (Reportedly based on a true story.)

One might say  Batman  has  issues.

In  fact, someone did.

To see them, go to The Ten Mental Illnesses Batman Indisputably Has.

 I'm adding the term "purported" when referring  to Microsoft's Office Open XML because:

• As it written now, Office doesn't use it.
• It is filled with proprietary specifications so it is not really open.
• It is not very good XML.

Hence I will use the new acronym: POOXML.

(Childish, I know.)
