Atlanta July 16, 2001 It's getting harder and harder to leave your work behind. If technologies keep evolving, you'll have to schedule vacations in an aluminum mine and then claim lack of wireless access when your boss asks why you didn't respond to his e-mail. Wireless platform provider Air2Web today announced it has partnered with Dimension Data/Proxicom Inc., an Internet consulting firm that was acquired in June by Dimension Data Holdings plc, a global technology company providing network and multichannel e-business solutions to global corporations.
