This information is not anything really new – but most of my customers are not aware of what these limits mean. For instance, I have a business client (training company) who purchased about 20 of the AT&T Connect cards.

Dell Dimension 3000 Sound Driver
This gets very frustrating. As much as I am a fan of Dell, it’s really aggravating when they don’t provide a driver for one of their systems.

Google Voice and Integrating It
Ok – I’m on my way to integrating Google Voice into my “phone system” of my iPhone, RingCentral, and Google Voice. First, let me say that gVoice is pretty cool since it records all voicemails as mp3 files plus records all text messages. Being able to refer back to them at any time is very cool.
