Man, I knew that character looked familiar. Good catch...

I've done that - the last place I worked, we used to do day trips up to our sattelite offices, and the boss would only ever stop at Tim Hortons.  After getting up four hours early, and having a 17+ hour day ahead, their coffee starts to look really good... Luckily everybody drinks Starbucks at the place I work now.  Overpriced, but ...

My company is currently looking into adopting APEX to replace most of their intranet report site.  How have you guys found it?  Good?  Bad?  Any good rants?  Any serious limitations?  Anything to watch out for?

Like... I dunno... coming up with some kind of location/companyname pair?  ...

I do exactly the same thing - whenever I finish a thought, I automatically follow it up with Ctrl+S.  This, however, is always lots of fun in environments where Ctrl+S means something other than "save" :)   Like... this edit box, f'rinstance.  Firefox just offered to download a copy of the "Reply to an Existing ...
