Part 1 by Stephen M. Pribut, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S. Email is the software I use most often and have given much thought to over the past several years. This month we will take a general look at email as a communication tool and next month look at some special aspects of email.
Communication is the primary activity and reason d' tre of the Internet.
The Internet is an exceptional format for sharing information. It is a combination of a globally distributed cyber-library, post office and discussion forum. While email is not as glamorous as the web, it is part of the glue that holds Internet communities together. Email is the most important and most often used software on the Internet. This cyber-postal service is not affected by distance.
