Happy Thursday All,
The goal of the "Thursday Think Tank" is to get each of us to use our noggin and think. Whether it be outside the box, inside the box, or not around a box at all. No matter what your job is, sometimes we put ourselves on auto-pilot and quit thinking....don't do that.
Here is some "out of the box" thoughts from Dennis.
All,
Chris asked me to come up with something to share with you for the Thursday Think Tank. Below you will find links to several innovative ideas where people created these products by thinking out of the box. After looking at the link or watching the video the link takes you to, close the linked window to return to this email.

Microsoft Office is a very popular software suite that many of us use. We have several different versions of Microsoft Office including Office 97, Office 2000, Office 2003, Office 2010, and Office 2013. Let's say you use Office 2003 and it does everything you want it to so you are happy to stay with that version. Then you start receiving files that were created in Office 2013 which you cannot open because Office 2003 will not open files created in Office 2013. So what do you do? You are required to upgrade to Office 2013 for $400 and you have to learn how to use the new version. Is there an alternative? Yes, I am in the process of testing Open Office which is a FREE Office substitute which you can download off of the Internet. It does read the newest file formats created by Microsoft Office. I will let you know the results of my tests and here is a link to information about this product.

Microsoft Windows if the most popular computer operating system in the world with over 85% of all computers using some version of Windows. Windows XP and Window 7 are the most popular versions of the Window Operating System. Unfortunately for Microsoft they created Windows 8 which is a very unpopular operating system. The vast majority of their customers wanted a new operating system to replace Windows 8 that looks like Windows 7. Their were a few people that liked Windows 8 and wanted a new operating system created that maintains the "tiled windows" like Window 8. What was Microsoft to do? They created Windows 10 which has the features of Windows 7 and the "tiled windows" of Window 8 and is now offering it FREE to their Windows customers. I downloaded it yesterday and have started testing it. Below is a link to Windows 10 information.
