Online Productivity Tools

This takes a bit of time to check out!
I managed to upload a document and learned about not converting to Google Docs format as that means page breaks get lost. This seems like it would have potential to keep my own documents in a format I could use from any computer connected to the web. I'm not sure this will take the place of other products ie Microsoft yet but as more people use them and they get better at "fitting" each other they will start to become the norm. When that happens, look out Microsoft! The value of Microsoft now is they are the norm and therefore compatible with most peoples software, and computer literate people likely know the software. (Microsoft has done a good job of marketing!)

I tried the calendar a year or so ago but found it cumbersome because I do not have a computer in my purse. It was nice to see my calendar from home or work, but my husband could not get in the habit of adding to it so it was just an extra job to maintain. The paper one in my purse, handy at the Drs. office, on the phone or at work just works better for me.
