Yahoo Email Beta Training, or Adding Fun to Training

I have a Yahoo email account (honestly I don’t check it too often). But Trillian (IM client) sends little “reminder” messages to me once in awhile that I have mail in the inbox of my Yahoo account. So I decided to go clean it out today.

It uses great presentation design… the slides look cool, they’re very visual, and you can get the gist of his message by just looking through the slides (but you can also tell you’re missing alot of good content, too)

Zamzar is cool

Mainly posting this to remember it… but zamzar.com is cool! It’s a free file converter page - point to a file, tell zamzar what you want the file to convert to, and TADA! - zamzar converts the file to the new format.
