I'd be interested to know if others have felt this creep in over the last five years or so. I used to not think about work at all while on leave but now the changes seem to come so thick and fast it's a daily chore keeping up!
Agree entirely, that damn thing spits out e-mails like... And if you go on vacation for 3 weeks it will have go haywire with warnings that this and that has not been updated when you turn it on. At least the paper manuals were quiet...
