Hi Leo (and everyone), I have a system that works going back to 2005 so I've stayed on the TW classic path. I survived all the Browser upgrades and most of the TW core updates (except for my D3 which got switched to dGSD). I store most of my TWs on Dropbox so I can at least read them on my phone if needed. Almost every meeting and every contact is in there and tagged so I can quickly find what I need.
Because of that, I just use it... Mike On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Andrew Lister <[email protected]>wrote: > I sort of fit that bill, except I'm not a developer of any plugins.
