Monitors Are Better Than One
used with
permission from Microsoft at Home
You can never have enough
screen space. Instead of buying a larger computer monitor, you can buy
an inexpensive second monitor or make use of a spare one and connect it
to your computer (if you're using Windows 7
or Windows Vista)€instantly doubling your desktop space.
Dual monitor setup checklist
There€s a good chance you already have everything you need to set up your second monitor.

Business Continuity
Tip
The Ripple Effect
As shown by the 2011 Japan
Tsunami, it can take months for the effects of natural disasters to
reverberate down the supply chain. This year has proven to be no
different. As retailers struggle to get their supply chains back up and running,
Hurricane Sandy serves as yet another reminder of how important it is
for every organization, regardless of size, to make supply chain
management a priority.

course, can save a ton of money and gain a lot of efficiencies by going

may take a very different path from an established medical practice,"

Top 10 New Business Features
in Windows 8
With Windows 8 now available, what are the best features for business use? Here are ten new or enhanced features!
1. Trusted boot/secure boot (UEFI)
This implements a secure
boot process and allows the machine to verify the integrity of the
network environment, thus preventing malicious code from executing
before the computer boots into the operating system. This means that
your machine is protected before the Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware software is
able to load when booting up, protecting you against attacks such as
root-kits.

Move It (Don't
Lose It)
used with
permission from HP Technology at Work
We've
become so dependent on computers for work and play that our hard drives
have turned into a central hub for all of our documents, photos, music
and more. If the thought of transferring that data to a new computer or
hard drive scares you, fear not€because the process really isn't as
difficult as it sounds.

but a lot of media needed to save the information. Fortunately, today's
technology makes it easier than ever.
