Jana Eggers experienced a technology meltdown while cruising through the Greek Isles on vacation. The Intuit Inc. general manager for QuickBase did her homework to confirm the cruise ship had wireless Internet access before heading out to sea.

But while at sea, a glitch in Outlook prevented Eggers from gaining access to e-mail, and the satellite connection onboard proved too slow to fix the problem. Top that off with a failed Blackberry that foiled any attempt to gain access once she reached land.

"Someone was trying to tell me not to do work while on vacation," Eggers laughed. "I was so proud of myself for having the backup I needed to get the job done, even though I tell my group, when they go on vacation, take a vacation."
