iPad3 the POSTER CHILD OF THE POST PC WORLD says Tim Cook from Apple iPad3 BORN March 16, 2012

So what is it that makes us pay for a new toy device every so often - or in Apple's case every so frequently? In the case of Apple's "Poster Child of the PC World" - the iPad3 - it is the long list of amazing features. To name only two aspects of the "Poster Child of the PC World" - the new iPad3 has a retinal display screen. The images are very crisp. The screen is 2048 x 1536 - about 1,000,000 more pixels than an HD TV. And to take those videos - the 5 megapixel iSight camera. Get ready for the BIRTHDAY of the "Poster Child of the PC World" on March 16, 2012. Check out the video from MASHABLE - with news of more features.

Have a happy day -
Lynn

HEY Where did my Mercedes that I just won in that contest go?

Innovation is so exciting. When we see something, we either think - "Oh, that's something I could have done!" or "How did they ever think of that?" Some ideas seem simple and then they are not.

When a new idea is presented - people take notice. And no, I didn't really win the car - just won the chance to see the video of the car driving around!

How fun to watch the faces of the folks "playing" with the car.
Have a happy day -

You too can be in love with my sweetheart CRM program ixactCONTACT!

You too can be in love with my sweetheart CRM program ixactCONTACT!
In 2011, I dreamed up the 2012 Back2Basics Challenge and this year, lots of wonderful AR members participated. Without that Challenge, and the necessity to communicate with so many people at one time, I’d probably still be undecided about which CRM program to use.

I chose ixactCONTACT and accepted their offer of five weeks free usage to test it out. Now you may receive an additional three weeks - making it two months for free - if you sign up with me or with Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn. In fact, Jennifer will be giving two webinars about ixactCONTACT in March 2012. Ask her about that - sign-up with Jennifer or sign-up with me - but either way - give ixactCONTACT a try. You won’t regret it - so easy to use.

Previously I outlined many features of ixactCONTACT in a post. Support at ixactCONTACT will guide you and help install your contacts. But you may read about that and additional features in my other post.

Now I am flat out astonished at the depth of utility in ixactCONTACT. Tried something new with ixactCONTACT tonight. I sent out the summary email for the 2012 Back2Basics Challenge to around 60 folks who finished the Challenge. Can you imagine - ixactCONTACT compiles analysis data for delivery as well!

Lots of reports available - descriptions of the three types of bounce-backs that might occur - open rates - click through rates - lots of information. And even graphs!!! Here’s one of many analyses for an example:

Monday Moment Let an ample perspective manage our stressful schedules

Monday Moment

Using a different perspective to filter a stressful schedule -

As I typically over-schedule my days, sad but true, Sunday night brings a bit of trepidation as I review what I have assigned to myself for Monday.

Then the glory and wonder of the universe arrive in the form of a new video from yesterday2221 shared on YouTube. These videos range from a few second to longer ones, several minutes at least. You may want to subscribe to the channel and have these wonders show up unbidden in your email - just the thing needed for a relaxation break - no calories and no health dangers - just fun.

Have a happy day -
Lynn
