Office 365 – this one’s a “gimme.” If you’re still using old, off-line Office, it’s time to pay up. Here’s a list of some of the apps I use and pay for … and why: Half your brain is tied behind your back (tip of the hat to ditto heads). You’re not using these features because you’re not embracing technology as required to prosper in the technological future.
