Ross Kodner's Cool Legal Gadget of the
Month
619-613-7907 Here’s your situation. You use a laptop at the firm--it’s your only PC. At home, you have a cool, new mega-powerful 600 MHZ PII multimedia stunner with Stones-concert level audio, a video accelerator with more memory than your your last Pentium had as its main memory (it’s all for the kids, of course--those educational programs are pretty demanding (). How do you get information to move back and forth between the two PCs? Some clunky Laplink connection? No go with IR since the home PC doesn’t have any kind of infrared port. Build a HAN ("Home Area Network) with a couple of network adapters and a "tweaked crossover" cable or a cheapo Ethernet hub? Kind of a hassle for many of us and still at least a $200 option if you use decent networking components. Send e-mail attachments back and forth between laptop and PC. PuhLEEZE. Zip Disks? Nah. The way to do it is to leverage those little USB ports festooning both PCs and using Anchor Chips’ EZ-Link USB networking system. A USB cable with a little mini-brick in the middle and their software is all you need. Plan on maybe 20 minutes of setup time at most if you have properly working USB ports to begin with. What you end up with acts just like an Ethernet peer-to-peer network--full accessibility to all drives, all peripherals--at 3 mbps speed--this thing is a must have!
ComputerGear http://www.computergear.com/computergear/emoticonmugset.html 800-373-6353 Face it--if your law firm isn’t swanky enough to have its own fancy coffee cups emblazoned with the firm name and logo, what are you going to do? Drink from styrofoam cups? Have a collection of cups proudly promoting Joe’s Towing Service and Life Insurance Agency? Why not amuse yourself, amaze your co-workers and just have a more satisfying Java experience when you pour that hot, steaming Joe into your Computergear emoticon coffee mugs. Each stoneware mug is emblazoned with one of your favorite emoticons - from the mood-lifting smiley :-) to the all-knowing, wink, wink, nudge, nudge <g>. Your coffee deserves it--you deserve it. And it’s only 35 bucks - equivalent to about 5 cups of Starbucks latte these days (.
