  1. @tantramar Haha, who knows!
  2. Speak the language of your customer and just say "lecture rooms" and "drawing on video images" if you want me to listen.
  3. If company tries to sell me video conferencing equipment using words like "didactic rooms" and "telestrating" I'm not buying.
  4. Speak the language of your customer. Anyone know what "didactic rooms" & "telestrating" are? Don't look it up-just give me your best guess!
  5. @donveinish Thanks Don!
  6. @OutToLunchC Thanks Jesse! Hope all is well in TO.

  12. Anyone using YouSendIt for sending large files to clients/colleagues? Like it? Anything better I should consider? FTP too complicated...
  13. Most of us use jargon every day. But does your potential customer understand it? Probably not. Make sure your web content is jargon free.
  14. @brightwhite You're obviously travelling without kids. Enjoy!!
  15. @emilystephen How about this one I saw years ago: Man spotted clipping finger nails in a packed tube in the London Underground at rush hour.
