Microsoft has released details on the Office 2003 lineup. Which components are included in which version, etc. Sounds like the Professional Enterprise edition is going to be the most “improved” over earlier versions of Office, what with rights management and XML stuff built in, but the lineup will be changed from the way XP is packaged so you probably want to check carefully when it’s released, in June.

ZDNet has a Centrino review. I have to say the marketing for the Centrino chips does have me intrigued, but not really intrigued enough to spend the cash for one myself. I am keeping an eye on it for future business purposes though. If they work as good as Intel claims, it’s something to keep in mind for our travelling employees, when they need their current ones replaced.

It’s 10AM and between putting in 4 hours yesterday and two so far today, all of the major issues left over from my vacation have been dealt with. My boss’ hard drive has been replaced and the software installations finished (except for the accounting package, she has always done that one herself) , the receptionist’s…

Major work day

Today’s the day we invoice a good 1/3 of our all of our members. I’m going to be quite tied up with running and printing our billing reports this morning. It should make the day fly because I’m busy, but it’s not necessarily the most mentally challenging work ever. There’s just a lot of it!…

Leftover access

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I can tell you from experience that even in my office it took years to get people to understand why you need to immediately terminate network access when some leaves the organization.
