There will be no office meeting this July.  It is a very busy month with conferences (CRS, Mike Ferry, StarPower) and education/designation classes (CDPE).  I sincerely hope you take advantage of the opportunity to invest in yourself and increase your earning power.

Did you know?  RE/MAX International is no longer.  RE/MAX transitioned from an incorporated company to a limited liability company.  While doing so, they decided to be just “RE/MAX”.

From the Technology Files
Smartphone? Apple’s 4^th generation iPhone sold 1.7 million units over the 3 day weekend – there is a problem with the antenna in the bezel of the phone – look for a bug fix.  Alternatively, Verizon launches a new Droid based phone called the X by Motorola on July 15 that will also work as a mobile hotspot for wi-fi computing.  Droid based phones are the fastest selling mobile phone platform today.  I’ve ordered one for myself.

Just Announced TODAY!  Verizon to carry the iPhone in January 2011.

Microsoft Office 2010 is now available for download.  Pretty cool upgrades for Outlook alone.

Statistically speaking.  64% of statistics are made up on the spot.  The other 41% do not make sense due to rounding or just bad math.
