With the holidays fast approaching (I wish they would slow down just a little) anything from Franklin Covey would make the perfect gift for the workaholic in the family.

I have a BlackBerry and I still can’t give up use of my day planner, having *both* is what works for me. Most people start out the new year by making resolutions and on the top of that list is usually “get more organized” (or is that just MY list?). Franklin Covey can help you be organized savvy like you have been envisioning while getting lost in the details.

I owned a Thinkpad prior to the Dell I have now. I have to say, I will be going back to Thinkpad when I am ready to upgrade. I have had quite a few problems with my Dell…

This ThinkPad X41 tablet computer features Intel Centrino Mobile Technology, a remarkably compact (less than 1″ thick) and lightweight design, a 12.1″ XGA display that swivels, wireless capability, extra protection for the hard drive, and easy-to-use system-recovery software. ThinkVantage Technologies and ThinkVantage Design elements help to improve productivity and to decrease operating expenses.

Design elements include:

Integrated Fingerprint Reader: Fingerprint authentication prevents unauthorized access to your system and data, plus it reduces the hassle of forgotten passwords.

Rescue and Recovery: Help when you need it most. A 1-button data-backup and recovery solution.

Active Protection System: Airbag-like technology includes motion sensors to help protect data on your hard drive against accidental drops and falls.

Access Connections software: An easy way to switch between wired and wireless networks.

Spill-resistant keyboard: The ThinkPad keyboard is sealed and sits in a tray, so liquids are less likely to get through to damage the system. Recently, I flung coffee all over my laptop - what a mess, this would make for a nice feature for me!
