Flat out all day, just as I suspect I shall be for the rest of the month, thanks to losing last week. Keep yourselves amused with these, at CNET.com.au and PC Authority respectively: Kodak ESP 5 All In One: “Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals
Right. Health is back. Which means I’m back, baby! (Imagine that in my best Ash voice. Which probably isn’t very good.

After a rather exhausting weekend — featuring head colds, six year olds having tantrums and kicking me in the face (I’m still a bit bruised), in-laws and lots and lots and lots of driving, it’s almost refreshing to be “only” back at the virtual word face. Behold, these words of wisdom, now inscribed at CNET.com.au.

CNET.com.au has a review of mine up Quickbooks QBi 2008/2009: “Existing users of Quicken’s line of accounting packages have the best reason in years to upgrade with the QBi series. New users should find the attractive pricing of the entry-level versions pretty compelling too.”
