Yes, but is email a complete solution?  It's certainly relevant and=0D=

important, but can it achieve everything a virtual team needs?=0D=

 =0D=

I ask myself (as 3:30 comes and I have to drag myself to a curriculum=0D=

meeting) why I'm dragging myself to a meeting.  Why couldn't it be done=0D=

by email?  If you can work that out, you may start to see where email's=0D=

limitations begin.=0D=

 =0D=

2.2 cents' worth (GST inc)=0D=

 =0D=

Off to curriculum.  VELS again.=0D=
