Law office tech deals for the week of June 15
Color touch-screen GPS units for in-car use are all the rage these days. With gas now topping $4 per gallon, you can't afford to get lost and drive around searching for your destination. Just as Radio Shack's sale on the budget-priced but full-featured Mio Moov 200 GPS ended, Sears and its sister store, Kmart, placed the same model on sale for $149.99.
My favorite wireless notebook mouse (which I've been using for the last two years without a single problem), the Microsoft Wireless Laptop Mouse, is on sale at Circuit City for only $14.99 after a $15 mail-in rebate.
I've been very impressed with my Wenger Swiss Gear notebook backpack. Wenger also offers a more traditional Swiss Gear notebook case for those who need something more formal than a backpack. The Impulse notebook case fits 15.4 inch notebooks. It is on sale at Circuit City for $39.99. The on-line user reviews are very positive. It appears to be a stylish, rugged, and practical case at a very good price.
It may be time to take your wireless network to the Nth degree (in other words, upgrade to the draft 802.11n standard). The compact, nicely-styled, and well-reviewed Linksys Wireless N Ultra RangePlus Router is on sale at Circuit City for $79.99. It is backward compatible with wireless B and G devices, but the real magic in terms of speed and range comes when you mate it with a Wireless N network adapter on sale for $69.99.
Add huge file storage and remote access to your network with the Western Digital 1TB My Book World Edition external hard drive on sale at Best Buy for $229.99. Unlike other external drives that attach to a USB port on one of your PC's, this drive connects via Ethernet cable directly to your router or switch. 1 Tera-byte of storage is huge at this price point.
Two words of caution about this drive. Make sure you update the drive's firmware from the Western Digital web site and you may want to skip the Mionet remote access software installation if you don't need it. Go to Appendix A in the manual instead. You'll find that the drive has a browser accessible control software embedded on the drive that lets you set this drive up in a snap.
When I was looking for my old collections of Hindi songs, then I saw in Visitthebest ...the best sites collection available which helped me to get the required song.
