Hi Everyone - I'm in the middle of an unpleasant wrangle with the IT dept over this issue at the moment. Sorry to ask you to do this again but I would be most interested in your experiences. Another issue has come to light associated with this software that we have in place in our trust. A large number of blocks as you know are nothing to with people trying to access porn. When I attempted an experiment using google as my search engine - i typed in adult respiratory distress syndrome knowing that the bad word of the day was adult. I was denied access to any results but the incident was logged and the reason was "porn". The log contains many many erroneous incidents and I am concerned who has access to this information and what it could be used for? I am sending this e-mail from a pc that has direct internet access and will receive your replies on it too. Any e-mail sent to my office computer which is networked i would not be able to open if the word porn was included in the text! Hey Ho - isn't life wonderful.
