Apple Mac Book Air

Wow, now there is one snazzy little laptop.  I will say that it might be a little too thin.  I might be afraid of bending it too much, or sitting on it and turning it into the shape of the letter U.  Other than that, it looks very good.  No CD-ROM but heck, it has a usb if you really need to read a CD/DVD.  I would say that this would be the laptop of choice for people that travel a lot.  Where weight is one thing that you don’t want.  Now that boot camp is out, I can see buying something like this if I traveled extensively.

Right now I am still looking at the little white iMac’s.  I don’t know why, but I really like those little laptops.  I know they are not the most powerful but, c’mon, its not like I do things that would utilize a great deal of memory or processor.  I write in Notepad (actually Notepad ++) and I type blog entries.  I am not a power user by any means.  Plus it would match my iPod. :)

CRM Software

Monday, February 4th, 2008

I am currently evaluating CRM (Customer Relations Management) software for my job here and figured that I would post some links to CRM programs that I have ran across. In case you haven’t noticed, I really like open-source software, so the first one that comes to my mind is Vtiger. This is something that you would host on your own website. Another one is SugarCRM.

If you want to pay money than the others that come to mind are Salesforce.com and Netsuite.com. Then of course you have MicrosoftCRM.

Just a couple that I have ran across and thought that businesses might find them useful.
