Sure, rural and suburban areas present their own unique challenges, but often it’s the city leader who feels alone in the most influential centers of our world. You are called to stay:… Read more →
This is why Microsoft needs competition. A little more competition would drive them to reconsider the amount of work we have to go through in order to fix the automatic formatting.
