Zamzar

Hey - what a useful tool this is! Tried a couple of conversions & they were very quick. A little confused at first as the selected file did not appear in the box, but when I tried to add it again Zamzar told me not to be stupid as it was already there! Worked a treat though.

Can definitely see me using this tool (if I can remember it under pressure at the time). I guess the limiting factor would be if the patrons had an e-mail address already (if not, add another 10 -15 minutes to set them up with one, and also whether they would want to pay to access the converted file?). But it will be a good tool to try just when we are looking stupid in front of the patrons 'cause we can't work miracles, produce just what they want & save the day!

Good point re: customers already having an email address. Zamzar, when it's instantaneous, is a beautiful tool. When it's not - oy vey! Congratulations for completing week 2 =)
