The OS Wars

The grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence.  It just seems to be human nature to want your grass … and theirs!  We don’t just want our share of the business that is out there, we want our unfair share.  That’s certainly true of the PC/CE/communications industry. It’s even more fun when you’re [...]

Verbatim Notebook Essentials Kit

If you travel a lot, or even a little, chances are you own a laptop or notebook PC. And you probably own one of those neat little carrying cases as well. They have just enough room inside for the computer itself with a little left over to stick the power cord inside next to it. If you’re lucky, [...]
