1. Not Everyone Needs to Have an E-mail Address
The kindest thing you might say to someone this week is, "How would you like to
be reached: via e-mail, phone, or mail?" That doesn't sound like an
Earth-shattering act of kindness, but let me tell you why it might sound
exceedingly kind to some in our community.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________
Sometimes, they just don't listen...
I have a manager that requested network accounts for two of his sales guys. Not
really a problem, except these two guys are really old-school, and they have had
network accounts set up for them multiple times in the past. Every time, they
stop logging in to their computers, and 90 days later, their accounts are
deleted due to inactivity ...
