For example, if I have Microsoft Excel XP and would like to send a file to a client that only has Microsoft Excel 97 (which was a horrible disaster for Microsoft, since there were quite a few bugs in this version), you could save the file as a Microsoft Excel 97 version. I remember in the past that you can always downgrade files.

Those working in the office and the cubicle dwellers are most prone to the temptations of online distractions. For example if you are browsing through the news, set a number of news, say five news items, that you will read and don’t go beyond that. This is the reason why I use Gmail for my personal email needs.
