Re: apology for late replys

I chose GMail as my business service. Google Docs/Drive is VERY nice (and
Gmail hasn't let me down yet). :)

But, a lot of my customers are choosing Office 365 over google because they
are more comfortable with the MS products.

I was leery at first, but they work great. Even my wife, a school teacher,
when she finally got over the learning curve of using Google Docs/Drive
over MS Office can't say enough of how much she likes it now. You'll never
lose another document with their autosave feature. :)

You mention MS Office - is that also the cloud version, Office 365 or
whatever?

I really dislike parts of that - the director of the community band I'm

in

has it and uses Publisher in there to make posters. Well, the only format
he can export to is PDF - the full version will go to any number of
formats, and I need JPEGs to put on our website.

All I can see is that MS is taking functionality away when they put up
these cloud offerings - disgusting!! And more work for me that I don't
think I should need to do.

LOL - enough somewhat OT!

I'll let you know how things go - right now, my boss says we need to be
sure to backup our inboxes - sigh!! There will be a conversion of a whole
boatload of mailboxes from on-premise to cloud. By boatload I mean 10s of
1000s.

Vern

FWIW, I've generally liked my experience.
Also purchased a personal copy of MS Office, but, so far, have not used
the free storage offered,
but I can imagine how cloud storage could be very useful (hackers must
love this!).
Will be interested to hear how your move to Exchange works Vern - I like
hearing from fellow skeptics . . .

seems we are moving to Exchange in the cloud - I'm not excited at the
prospect - but it's free, right? Free is always good, right? NOT!!!

My apologies for my late and confusing replies, our e-mail is handled

by

MS 360 which is generally very good.
This am there seems to have been about an hour's delay around 6am MST
somewhere in 'the cloud'.
