So says Michael Sampson. What Oracle has achieved here rocks big time. This is the best implementation of calendaring for enterprise users that I am aware of to date. The Steltor technology is obviously playing a big and important role…

I looked at the screenshot and saw a lot of familiar things (ahem, no A9 toolbar or bookmark, though!). Greasemonkey, the gmail notifier, etc... But what is the little doggie icon? Or the magnifying glass? And I highly recommend adding Adblock to Firefox while you are at it... Here are two short posts I wrote about add-ons for Firefox: http://www.unto.net/unto/work/better_browsing/ http://www.unto.net/unto/work/essential_firefox/ (Actually, now that I think about it, you may have even responded to them before I lost my old comments...)
