Work from anywhere

A new product from Avvenu.com offers remote access to your files. It works like Gotomypc ($19.95/month) but is free.

You can access and share files, download them to revise, but mostly see your office computer when you're away.

I'll be testing it out over the next week and let you know if it's a winner.

Ultimate laptop launch on March 9, 2006 ?

Microsoft has a product ready to launch any day now that promises to shake up my world -- a tiny laptop with full functionality. Here's what I learned so far:

It is expected to be a tablet mobile PC , running Windows XP, with built-in wireless, weighing about one pound and sporting a battery that lasts all day.

There will be different models & versions, priced under $1,000 and Microsoft is expected to roll it out at the CeBit trade show in Germany next week.

Stay tuned for more news,
