Pondering practice with Pentium power

Article Abstract:

Two Pentium-based systems are compared and contrasted to 486 systems to illustrate the potential worth of each system for legal firms. While it is true that Pentium machines can operate quickly, in many cases the performance advantage over a 486 is negligible. When downloading or transferring files, for example, the processor's speed is a non-issue, since the speed is determined by the modems at each end of the connection. Software is still not generally optimized for the Pentium, and Windows is still not particularly fast. Pentium systems, however, do provide some advantages. Scrolling through documents, for example, is much faster than on a 486. Generating a table of contents for a long document is also a task better suited to the Pentium than the 486.

24 things you can do with a palm connected organizer (or "Why did I buy this darn gadget anyway?")

Article Abstract:

Palm Connected Organizers, which typically come with built-in calendars, to-do lists, address books, and e-mail capabilities, are made even more useful for legal professionals because of thousands of Palm programs and add-on devices being developed for them. Twenty-four outstanding examples are described. For example, TealPoint Software's TealDoc is a robust, inexpensive document reader. TealDoc competes against Aportis Technologies' AportisDoc. Both companies' Web sites offer downloadable trial versions.
