“Hey fellas! Good to hear Technorama again after that hiatus. Funny enough, my receipt for tonight’s dinner was quite apropos for your return, so I thought I’d share. 🙂
Uno-Cero-Uno!!”

“Hey fellas!
Kind of a follow-up to my last email, I noticed the duration of episode 567 that I just downloaded today (2019-06-26).

Binary hi-5,

Mike Wills – Private/Public calendar appointments (Ep 563)
In our environment for some reason the calendar details are public by default. So then the private appointments makes sense. However if I’m out for anything, I usually just put “Out of Office” on the block and leave it at that. My personal calendar is for my private appointments.
