Well...
IMHO it is not a good thing when a network related programme like evo
does not comfortably work with unreliable network connections. Think
about a laptop with a GSM/UMTS connection. This will (at least in
Germany) completely drop out several times an hour, and it's really
annoying if the user always has to do the reconnect manually - and in
the GOA thing even with a number of mouse clicks für several calendars.
