If you are traveling with a laptop over the holiday period then you should do your “Laptop Contingency Planning” before you head out the door.  For an excellent planning guide look at Mark Shead’s blog post at www.Productivity 501.com.  Laptops are lost, dropped, stolen, and simply fail at a very high rate.  If you need to get work done then you must be prepared for one of these events by ensuring data security, preventing damage, and having accessible data backups. 

Thanks to Rodney Dowell of LOMAP for the tip.

Making a hardware or software purchase for your practice can be time consuming.  Getting reviews for the product in question can be downright frustrating.  My friend Don Gage recently directed me to Litireviews, a site dedicated to legal and litigation software reviews.  I was pleased to see that some hardware is included as well.  There are 207 reviews posted in the year 2008, so it appears to be constantly updated.

I hope this site serves as a useful tool in your endeavors for the ultimate law practice.

Key XL is perhaps the most comprehensive collection of keyboard shortcuts, including shortcut tips for Microsoft, Adobe and Google applications, web browsers, email, programs, photo/imaging software, and even MP3 players.  You will also find shortcuts for Mac and Linux-based software on here as well.
