My electricity was off for about 18 hours due to high winds. However, I just got my VOIP phone & fiber optic back after 6 days. Because I do not use online accounts, I was still able to get my Church Council & Finance Secretary duties done. I stopped at the Church, got the written documents I needed, and scanned them into my computer. The Church internet was also down that morning, but that's OK, as I do not logon to their system when I use my laptop to take notes.
For everyone who thinks that online accounts are the next leap forward, has it occurred to any of them that internet access is not a given, and that there is still work that has to be done?
