Blocked!!

My first day at the current new job (about a month), they told me they block all extrnal emails-yahoo, gmail, aol, even aol instant messenger.

Friend texted me a clip of his cousin 3rd rd KO 3 weeks ago, found out Youtube is blocked. Myspace and Facebook also. NOW this forum too!! I'm thinking the more they see you on a particular site, they block it. :( Next would be fighthype.com, then boxingscene.com, then nba.com, hoopshype.com, then scottrade.... then I guess I'll have to work..

If you had your own blackberry or palm device you could access the internet using your own data plan anywhere right? Thinking of going that route myself.

I had a 'regular' phone for years, only this year I got a BBJUST cause I txt nonstop and obv a keyboard is much easier than a standard cell. Basically, I got the blackberry just cause easy tetxng. Ididn't do the plan for 30 bucks...part cause I'm cheap, part because I don't need to surf the web constantly.

Thanks for the proxy server advice guys! I will definitely try it out on Tuesday...mcjp6 and Bruno

The Safari browser on the iPhone rocks! It's like amini laptop. My company blocks external emails as well as certain other websites like forums. The iPhone takes care of my fix

I don't blame your employer for doing this.
