Be A Technologically Mobile Attorney?

In this post by Law.com solos and those who love them give their best advice as to how to take your business mobile and not be tied to your office or desktop PC ever, again.  And the best part...they pretty much come in under $5,000 to get the job done.  I'm sure others in the Mac World will have their say but the point remains the same, taking your office mobile has never been easier.  I'm still working on my Technoshock, but I'm getting there.

Legal Technology - Where to Click When You Need to Buy New (Legal) Tech

Link: Legal Technology - Where to Click When You Need to Buy New (Legal) Tech. This great article by Bob Ambrogi has clickable links to many great resources for information about buying legal tech. Humbly, I admit that Futurelawyer is on the list (okay, way down at the bottom of the list), but there nonetheless. I will have to speak to Ambrogi about that. Anyway, your search for legal tech should begin at one of these links. I will be writing more about this later; but, these resources ought to keep you busy for a while.

IOGEAR: Mini USB KVM Switch

Link: IOGEAR: Expand Your Connectivity. In a solo law firm, one of the most difficult tasks is that one lawyer must perform all of them. Thus, I am my own tech support person, and I have to maintain the network myself. Admittedly, it is a small network, just me and my secretary, and a workstation in the library. However, the network server, which resides under my desk also needs to be maintained. Two monitors, two keyboards, two mice, all competing for space in my cramped office. Recently, I discovered the new USB Iomega KVM mini switch, which allows the use of one keyboard, one mouse, and one monitor for two computers. The KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch plugs into the business end of your peripherals, and there are two long cables with connectors at the end to plug in to the two computers. Then, voila, tap the scrol lock key twice, and you can switch back and forth. I didn't need extra USB ports, so I opted for the simple version, without. Just $29.95, and my office looks less like an airplane cockpit.
