My office (along with countless others) has been without email via Outlook all day, and given that the file management software which I (and the majority of other offices in my line of business in Australia) use is integrated with Outlook, I am curious as to what the knock on consequences of this might be.
Maybe everyone is dusting off the fax machines? (I haven't used the one integrated in my printer for a few years, probably.)
I'm pretty sure that while some legal contracts provide an "out" for something not being able to happen because the internet itself is down, I don't think they have addressed legal positions if something can't happen because email is down. (Which, in a sense, it isn't: yahoo is still working! Maybe there has been surge of new online email accounts being created under business names today?)
Interesting times...
