I had a nice meeting with a customer this morning - they are using Smalltalk (VisualWorks) to schedule the trains for a large part of Germany. That was neat; the system has some very nice graphical pieces with very fast zoom in/zoom out capabilities. That was cool. Then I came back to the corporate (Cincom) office, where I find that the firewall has made life unbearable. All I have is port 80 - no SSH, no IRC, no non-corporate email access... it's like being cut off from the world. Is this what net access is like for most people who work in offices? How do people stand it?
