Now where did I put it?

To find out where Firefox places your downloads go to Tools, Options, General, in the middle it says Downloads, mine says Desktop, yours might say something else.  You can designate where to save files or click the Always ask me where to save files option.

Not yabber dabber do, it’s Yammer time!

From Yammer’s website  https://www.yammer.com/about/product#what-is-yammer ,  “Yammer is a simple real-time communication tool for organizations.  Yammer was created by people who wanted a better way to connect and share with people at work.  You and the other members of your organization each have a Yammer profile. Your profile information includes your photo, title, contact info, expertise and background. Yammer makes your organization a better place to work by making it feel smaller, helping people to find and meet each other, and busting silos between groups and departments. Also, because it’s a network, it becomes more powerful the more people that join.”

OneNote!

I have heard about it, read about it and now am using it and am convinced!

Many of us carry a notebook or notepad around to take notes for business, school, or personal projects. But can you easily find — and decipher — the info you need? Is it convenient to share your notes with others? Take control with Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, the easy-to-use note-taking and information-management program where you can capture ideas and information in electronic form. Insert files or Web content in full-color, searchable format or as icons that you can click to access. Watch this demo to see how simple it is to gather, format, organize, and share information. And then say goodbye to your notepad!
