Yesterday, the excuse that Hillary Clinton gave for conducting official business through a private email server was that she had two phones to access multiple email servers.

It’s lame email software (Outlook comes to mind) that can’t handle multiple accounts.

It’s not the first time that happened…submitted a couple of drivers for a video-capture card we built at my previous job back around ’05 or ’06.

Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to correct such deficiencies when you have source-code access to the whole system.
