Silencio-
Long story short-I'm working with an online database that has millions of documents in it, and the service provider went bankrupt last year, hasn't updated the UI of the actual database program in 10 YEARS according to their support people, and the newest Citrix client they had was for OS 9!
I Googled Citrix, downloaded the OS X Citrix client, and it turns out that the script the service provider uses to log in clients works with the OS X client!
HALLELUJAH--I was actually able to put in an hour of billable work from home last night, and can put in a couple of hours this weekend! YOWZAH!
A big piece of it is that my employer has an on-site policy of no streaming media. Working at home, I can listen to anything I want to, which is wonderful.
As far as I can tell, Citrix is great. Our service provider, not so much....
