Nothing But Blue Skies and Global Warning …
and That Spells Opportunity, Folks!
by Bernard Berrier, Northstar Network, Inc.
 Imagine the snowy peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro without snow. Glacier National Park without glaciers. Badger Pass, the oldest ski resort in the western U.S. without snow; Bass Lake with no water.

Chicken Soup for the Computer
Data Backup, Part 3 - Backing Up Email
by Susan Clement, Sierra Tel Business Systems

I would never forgive myself if you lost data because of something I should have included but didn’t.
