I was just curious if the data that was lost was recoverable for Ashley, Cheryl or Dean. Also, I recently learned that Lansing Community College (LCC) has been using Google Apps, it looks like, since December 2007 (http://tinyurl.com/yevpp6a), but maybe some of you knew that already. I recently started reading ³The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google² (http://tinyurl.com/yal6prm) and now understand why Microsoft sees Google as a rival, itıs not the search, itıs the utility. Interesting parallel the author draws between the advent and spread of electricity as a utility and Google. -t On 10/6/09 12:19 PM, "Ashley Shillinger" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > It may be soon to ask this, but has anyone heard any additional information > regarding this?
