Okay, I knew it was going to happen. I’d have to migrate my email off of Eudora — the center of my work day since about 1997.
But I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly — just poof, and I couldn’t read my email archives (let alone send anything). Continue reading
There was a kerfuffle today on the Social Media Page and the Social Media Strategy Group about not using the new logo until “approved” versions are available.
