"The web is rife with conversion tools, but Josh Lowensohn over at WebWare found an interesting one called KoolWire. KoolWire is different in that its conversions take place over email. It has the ability to convert a Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files to PDF, as well as PDFs back to Word.\u00A0 Additionally, it can take MP3s and Wavs back and forth.\nFrom word, ppt, excel to PDF:      pdf@koolwire.comFrom PDF to Word:                     doc@koolwire.comFrom WAV to MP3:                     mp3@koolwire.comFrom MP3 to WAV:                     wav@koolwire.com\n\n\n \n\n\nIt rather reminds me of all the interesting little email conversion gateways that were prevalent on the Internet back in the mid to late nineties.\u00A0 In my little town growing up, we didn't have many dedicated phone lines, but we did have a few BBS's with email access (either by way of Fido or traditional email).\nWith these gateways (typically found in the Internet Yellow Pages, a manual that for a time, could still be printed in one moderately priced tome), access to text-only web, Usenet and other now commonplace protocols could be gained, as well as several interesting conversion utilities like this (the most interesting one that springs to mind is an old gateway that converted emails to snailmails).\nAside from conjuring up a bit of nostalgia, KoolWire makes for a useful utility, especially in the day of nigh-unlimited email storage that most of us have.\u00A0 Emailing small attachments to be converted and letting them sit in our inbox until we need them is a much handier solution than FTPing them and having to hunt down an FTP client, should we be away from our own desktop machine."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
