We could have used Logitech’s top trackball for just a day or two and our conclusion would have been the same as after many weeks of testing: this is a great pointing device. If you’re looking for help avoiding repetitive stress injuries, or if you just plain prefer trackballs over mice, this one is worth trying out.
As described in our article on basic backup strategy for your private practice and our case study in backup strategy, an external hard drive provides an attractive storage medium for fast, secure, and reliable backups. We take a look at two leading contenders for external backups: the LaCie d2 and the Maxtor One Touch II. Although similar in many ways, each drive offers particular features that make it more suitable for particular groups of users.
