Technological Hiccups
Welcome to another addition of PELINKS.
Some great minds have provided us with tremendous technological
innovations enabling us to share a plethora of information in a
timely manner. Without these great minds, we wouldn't have the
opportunity to share information about our great profession with so
many people world wide. Having said that, I must also add that
without these great innovations, we wouldn't have the many headaches
associated with technology. Recently, PELINKS
encountered a serious technological challenge which created a black
hole for all of our email. All of the communiqués that were
written between January 10-17, disappeared.
If you were one of the many people who communicated with us during
the time period mentioned, please let us know. We would like
to here from you and have the chance to respond. Please
know that we are doing everything in our power to ensure minimal
technological hiccups and hope this hasn't inconvenienced
anyone.
