Are You Ready to Upgrade to Act! v19?

My e-mailbox has been flooded with questions so I’d like to take this opportunity to answer a few of them.
I am an Act! subscriber;...

Happy 25th Birthday ACT!
Wow! As hard as it is to believe the ACT! software program turned 25 this month. If you’re into numbers that translates into 14 versions, five named owners and millions of users.
I received an e-mail this week from a long ACT! user who was complaining about everything from the confusing naming conventions for ACT! software to the fact that his old ACT! wouldn’t do any “new tricks” but that...

I’m thankful that my daughter has inherited my “shopping” gene and will actually accompany me to the mall on Friday and that I have lots of great activities planned for the weekend.

ACT 2011 Road Show
It was a dark and rainy night – literally – in August of 2002.
Let me digress. I was one of the 12 consultants nationwide that had been chosen to run an ACT 6 launch event. I was given 6 weeks to secure a location, make audio/visual arrangements and run a trade show of ACT addon vendors.
