Busy morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Haven’t had time this morning to do my usual check of tech blogs and tech news to see what’s going on. Had to do billing first thing this morning, had some issues with one of the printers, and, in turn, had some issues with printer drivers on one of the PC’s after I got the printer operating properly again.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just me, but the tech news of late hasn’t really been all that interesting. I’m actually not that interested in it. I find myself doing other things instead. Probably just the way things are in summer time, there’s so many other things to do that tech just becomes more of a job than usual.

    Regarding my previous question from the weekend about where you draw the line between keeping up a good relationship with your users and letting them walk all over you with non-work technology issues, I would mostly err on the side of letting them walk over you. There’s definitely a line that needs to be drawn…

  • Question for the day

    I was writing up some thoughts for a friend about laptop recommendations last night and a thought occurred to me. Why not have a semi-poll? So here’s the question. All things considered, (price, features, dependability, warranty, etc.) if you had to choose today to buy a laptop, what company would you but it from? Dell,…

  • Consumer Reports

    Related to the last post, I found a copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports in the office and took a peek at their ratings. They rate a Gateway number 1, Toshiba 2nd, IBM 3rd and a Dell 4th, with the Dell being the “best buy” because it’s 400-600 dollars cheaper than the others….
