What To Consider When Choosing
a New Laptop The laptop (or notebook) computer untethers workers from the office and desk. Packing virtually all the computing power and applications of a desktop system into a portable version, the laptop has become the sole computing device of professionals and students everywhere. Models vary in price, performance, and portability. Desktop replacements offer a large display, integrated drives, and high performance. Ultra-light versions are available for mobile professionals who don’t want to carry any extra weight while traveling. Value notebooks offer a middle ground in both size and performance at a lower price. Laptops have evolved to offer the same computing power, memory, and hard disk space as desktop models. Screens continue to get bigger as more and more people are opting for laptops as their primary (or sole) computer. Some manufacturers offer laptops with 16- and 17-inch screens. Average value notebooks now offer 14- and 15-inch screens. Ultraportables with 12- and 13-inch screens are available for road warriors. There has also been a recent trend towards widescreen models in the marketplace. Several manufacturers offer laptops with rewritable DVD drives; today’s more common combination is a DVD-ROM with CD-RW drive. Ultraportable versions rely on external drives. Notebooks now contain card slots for removable media cards like CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, or Smart Media. Pointing devices enable users to point-and-click without a flat surface and mouse. Users may have their own preferences between eraserhead (or pointing stick), trackpad (or touchpad), and trackball devices. Try to get a feel for each method before choosing the one which suits you best. With its portable nature, power and battery life are top concerns for laptop users. Battery life greatly improved with the introduction of Intel’s Pentium M processor. Battery life with the chip averages 3.5 hours (with some performing up to 7 hours). Ultraportable models have specialized ultra-low voltage processors to maximize weight, space, and battery life issues. The rechargeable lithium ion battery is the most popular battery offered by vendors today. Laptop security is a critical concern for laptop owners. From stories about laptops forgotten in taxis to hi-tech crime rings targeting airports and conferences, protecting the physical computer and confidential data is a top priority. A multi-layered security strategy is always advisable. Most laptops are equipped with a USS (Universal Security Slot) that can be attached to a cable lock or alarm. When leaving laptops in the office, you can lock it securely to a docking station permanently affixed to a desk or cabinet. Metal tamper resistant asset tags can increase your odds of recovering a lost or stolen laptop. Beyond physical security methods, there is much one can do to safeguard data. Most operating systems (like Windows 2000 and XP Professional) offer secure logon, file level security, even data encryption. Data thieves can be foiled with BIOS protection schemes. Personal third-party firewalls are an effective layer of security to prevent attacks. Some computer vendors are now offering optional biometric sensors where your fingerprint is your logon ID instead of a password. The choice of laptop computers has never been greater, take some time to work out which is the best one for your own needs and enjoy the flexibility of being able to work anywhere!

Setting Up a Home Office
One of the attractions of working
from your home, is the ability to
tailor your work environment to suit your needs and preferences.
Best practices for setting up an ideal
workspace include:
* Selecting a separate, self-contained work area
* Ample workspace
* Well-lit area; no glare on computer screen
* Hazard free area
* Temperature controlled
* Freedom from "home noises" (dogs, children, mowers, washers, etc.)
* Ergonomically sound furniture (desk, chair, computer system, etc.)
* Equipment (hardware and software) that is interoperable with the main
office

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have “it all together – all the time,” while you struggle with deadlines, misplace items, and run late for appointments? Are you interested in learning the secrets to their organizing success? If so, implement the following strategies and you too will experience the joy of more focus, time and success.
1. Assign a place to keep all of your belongings.
Isn’t it interesting that we never misplace our car (except in a big parking lot). It’s because we’ve chosen to designate a space for it – the garage. Allocate a room and a specific drawer, shelf, basket, or other container for each kind of possession. Keep like things together and store each type of item closest to the place where you will be using it.
2. Design processes to manage paper flow.
We have more information delivered to us on a daily basis than ever before so it is imperative that you set up systems to touch paper once and keep each type of document where you know you will be able to find it. For example: When at home, collect your mail from the mailbox and immediately toss the junk, place all invoices in a special container (throw away any promotional material included with the invoice), file important documents right away, and place magazines into their own container (be sure to pitch the oldest issue).
3. Know how long to keep important papers.
Educate yourself using the guide at the following web address to determine what to keep and for how long. Then shred all unnecessary documents. http://housekeeping.about.com/b/a/148131.htm
4. Regularly, dispose of items that are broken, torn, stained, or haven’t been used for a period of time.
Purging items that have lost their usefulness will make it easier to find what you want – when you want it plus, give you room to store new items should you purchase more. You can toss items, sell them, or donate them to your favorite charitable organization.
5. Put each item away as soon as you are through using it.
Avoid the mentality…“I’ll set this down for now, it’s just temporary.” All too often, temporary turns into days, days turn into months and soon you’ll have a mountain of stuff to sort through. You have a choice…a minute now or hours later.
6. Use a calendar.
A calendar is a great tool if you use it consistently. For instance, it’s harder to overbook yourself when you only have 24 hours per day on your calendar. More importantly it requires that you make choices…you can’t do it all and be successful. Try this strategy:
7. Only buy new items when you have sufficient space to display them, store them, or you are prepared to let something else go.
Its false economics for you to keep buying more stuff if you can’t see, easily access, or enjoy it.
8. Say, “No thank you” to family and friends who want to give you their excess.
If your parents or friends are downsizing or moving and offer to give you a number of household items, don’t take them into your home unless you love them and will use them immediately.
9. Organize everything in your life.
Organizing isn’t a one time task, it’s a habit. You will reap the greatest rewards if you organize everything in your grasp: your space, your time, your projects, your briefcase, your calls, your errands, your purse, your computer, your play time, etc.
10. Adjust your organizing system for new and changing circumstances.
You would make adjustments in your life if you lost your job. The same is required of your organizational system if your circumstances change. Adjust for a new baby, new projects, another hobby, loss of an assistant, or a dependent leaving the nest.
Your environment isn’t just any ole space. It’s your safe place, creative place, productivity place, and the place that reflects what you value most and supports your interests and lifestyle. Honor it, organize it, give it the attention it deserves and you will be amazed with the results.
