I remember when I first experienced USB, it was with my iMac DV back in 2000. I remember being so happy about it being hot-swap capable, and having such high speeds. Back then it was USB 1.1 (12 mega bits per second at full speed). After USB 2.0 (480 megabits per second at high speed) came out a few years ago I overjoyed, for I no longer had to wait 20 minutes to transfer a file to my external hard drive. Hold on to you seat, because according to a blogs cable review the newest USB compliance is to be released soon. This compliance will be designated USB 3.0, and will feature speeds of up to 4.8 GIGABITS per second. If you didn’t catch that, the previous speed was 480 megabits. 4.8 Giga bits is the equivalent to 4800 megabits, which is a ridiculous amount more!
Unfortunately, this technology won’t be released until sometime later this year, with commercial products coming out in 2009 or 2010. So if you can, hold off on getting that new computer until it is equipped with USB 3.0. I know I am, in the mean time I’ll just get a MacBook Pro
There are far to many internet based fax companies out there. We searched for the one that came closest to meeting our needs and came up with Myfax. There is no charge to install it and it can be used from any computer in the office. Our monthly rate is $10.00 and this give us 100 out going and 200 incoming faxes for free each month. If I have done the math right, that is right around 3 cents a fax. We do not have a large volume of faxes on either the incoming or outgoing side of the equation.
I am very much a frugal partner in our business and I am always trying to cut corners where I think we can get away it. The other day I was talked into getting a piece of Tandberg equipment because of the state of the art picture they have on their video conferencing machines. This would have been another area where I would have tried to cut corners but I am glad that I did not. The picture is really nice and there is no fuzzy noises in the background when we have a conference. This makes the entire seminars that we hold go much smoother.

I recently found out about a promotional cell phone plan that really got me excited. It involved high quality Orange phones for cheap prices. Cheap Orange mobile phones are never easy to find, so at first I was a little skeptical to see if this plan was real. It turns out that all you have to do is sign up for a cell phone plan, which you need anyway to be able to use a phone. I thought that it sounded like a win-win situation. I am planning to head over to the store today and purchase one of these phones.
