Zamzar - Shazam!

I've added this tool to my Favourites as it has the potential to be very useful: clients have asked us how to convert files in the past. As long as the files are unclassified, I can see no problem with using Zamzar.

Zamzar was very easy to use (in fact, the hardest part about this session was finding my Blogger password ). I requested a file to be converted from Word to pdf. It took some time for it to be emailed to me - the email was waiting for me when I came into work the next day. It worked - yay Zamzar!

For some reason, when I hear Zamzar, I think of Shazam - a 1970s cartoon about two kids, a camel and a Genie who appeared whenever two halves of a ring were united and the word, Shazam, was yelled victoriously!
