Matthew, I'd normally take you up on this challenge. The only problem I really see with this per sé is that I need to use a physical computer to do some of the work required by my job. Therefore, I unfortunately cannot be "Off the Grid," no pun intended, (God that's a great book!" LOL! for that long. Otherwise, I'd do it. I can't leave my customers out in the cold though, just because I choose to do something extreme like this.
One thing about my part 2 e-mail on using e-mail: I dont' know why command+shift+D didn't work to send my e-mail initially. It's working now. Go figure.
