Hi, Mark - thanks for this useful and timely contribution:)

Two reasons why I find your post especially helpful:

1)  I love lists ... especially those that contain helpful information.   As we slide gracefully from 2015 to 2016, the time is right to make changes and add tools that help us work more effectively.

2)  I enjoy seeing what tools work for others and tend to trust their recommendations over a vendor's hype:).  Anyone who posts on LCG is a trusted resource, so I'll be checking out those applications you mentioned that I do not yet use.

Up to this point, I have resisted Google Docs, but your affirmation of it makes me want to take a second look - thanks:)

John
