Those who know me will say this is an understatement... I am connected. ;-) I have four primary e-mail addresses. One's devoted to work, one's devoted to my profession (this one), one is for tying together all of my personal contacts, and another just for fun. I use Gmail for the fun and professional one, and make good use of filters and archiving. I don't have to read everything that comes in, but in a pinch I can use Gmail's search to get at what I need. I'm subscribed to well over 40 listservs, so Gmail has saved my butt with regard to staying productive. ;-) And then of course I use a RSS reader for blog and web site content aggregation. My cell phone is my primary phone, and much of it comes via txt, which is highly convenient (combined with caller ID) because I can read them as I have time. If someone really needs to reach me, they can call. -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner Senior Member STC, TechValley Chapter STC Single-Sourcing SIG Manager http://techcommdood.blogspot.com avid homebrewer and proud beer snob "I see your OOO message and raise you a clue." ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
