Week Two - Zamzar


The amazing Zamzar! What a useful website this is, no fancy do-dahs, just easy to use and very useful.
I actually began playing with Zamzar in week one when I first saw it. I converted an image from bmp to jpeg. That worked fine so this week I did the pdf to doc thing, also fine.
The really neat thing about Zamzar happened yesterday. A customer had a Works format file which doesn't work on the Learn.net but with a quick zap of Zamzar to a doc file she was able to use her file.

Quote for the week, relevant to nothing except I just read it in a book about the benefits of disorder and liked it.

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk?"
(Albert Einstein)

LOL exceptional quote! I'm a fan of Zamzar although sometimes you do have to catch it at the right time. Once I had to wait 2 hours eek. Hah! How's that for timing? You're forced to look at file conversion and a customer needs one done! What're the odds?? I must remember that. Congrats on completing week 2 :)
