They would 'redline' them and send them back with corrections or changes. The whole exchange took about a week, more or less.<br /><br />Now I can Adobe PDF the document and have it there in less than half an hour, hour tops. Much quicker. Same with mail, an email is extremely efficient, able to send the correspondence simultaneously to various participants at same time, so everyone is one the same page. Brilliant stuff!<br /><br />Until your Internet provider goes down. And you gnash your teeth and pull your hair on how you are immobilized.<br /><br />Cell phones. You can be in middle of WhereDaHellAreWe USA and receive a call in no time flat. I called my boss who was on vacation in Alaska, he disembarking on a shore day trip to ask him a question. Just like that.<br /><br />We are some spoiled mofos, I tell you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-37345947155924972842013-04-04T07:41:04.987-04:002013-04-04T07:41:04.987-04:00I bet they run cash only too.

She said that when the power goes out they write everything down then put it in the computerized register when the power comes back on.
