All we have here are lame offerings created by idiot vice presidents and marketed by other idiot vice presidents.

Lisa, TechnoPhobe, Loves New Netbook

When hardcore technophobes start to tell me about their new computer, I usually hear complaints. Last weekend, my friend Lisa told me she was happy with a computer for the first time in her life.

Link QuickBooks Contacts to VerticalResponse E-Mail Marketing

One of the chores people hate most when using computers? Reentering information from one system into another system. After all, you're typing on the same computer, right?

This week, at least two companies upgraded virtual schlepping to automated contact sharing.
