I hope my focus on picking the right tool, rather than the new tool, for the job gives me at least a partial pass. My take? We spend too much time worrying about the glitzy new tools only a fraction of workers use, and ignore ways to get more work done with existing tools, whether hardware or software. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/80988/are-modern-information-workers-luddites#comments Personal tech Small business Windows Opinion laptop smartphone Vista Windows 7 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:11:41 -0400 James Gaskin 80988 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/80331/batterycare-gets-more-juice-out-notebook-batteries Rechargeable batteries are a mystery, losing their maximum capacity quickly and without any clear cause.
