<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, but is email a complete solution? It's certainly releva=
nt and</DIV>
<DIV>important, but can it achieve everything a virtual team needs?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I ask myself (as 3:30 comes and I have to drag myself to a curriculum</=
DIV>
<DIV>meeting) why I'm dragging myself to a meeting. Why couldn't=
it be done</DIV>
<DIV>by email? If you can work that out, you may start to see whe=

<DIV>limitations begin.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2.2 cents' worth (GST inc)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Off to curriculum. VELS again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sigh........</DIV>
