On the other hand, I don't think anyone accused slack, with multi-megabyte webpages and even worse mobile app, of being a great experience. I think I used it once, and said no more…

you can stare at the sun to be more productive when viewing the sun as well. /s No, I don't buy the green screen argument, any more than the randomness of paper being somewhat whit…

I'm not trying to shit on anyone, just lucky to live in an area of abundance where $200 can go a very long way if you do your homework and don't internalize status/marketing expect…
