What to do with those old computers
Article Abstract:
After installing new systems, law offices usually wind up with older computer systems that cannot be used or upgraded in a cost-effective manner. These older systems may be donated to clerical staff, local non-profit groups, poor and inner-city school systems or legal aid societies. Computer systems with 283, 386 or 486 microprocessors cannot run modern Windows software and will be useful mostly to teach disassembly and component salvage. To protect client confidentiality, law office technical personnel should totally erase the donated system's hard disk by deleting all hard disk partitions, then repartitioning, reformatting and overwriting the newly reformatted drive.

Which Palm to use
Article Abstract:
Palm Computing Inc's Palm IIIx and Palm V personal digital assistants, priced at $369 and $449, respectively, are recommended as workhorse products. The Palm V is noteworthy for its sleek design, and it has a higher contrast screen. With 2MB, it has half the memory of the Palm IIIx. The extra memory will be important for those who need to load databases or documents such as electronic books or Web pages. The Palm IIIx is larger, but if size does not matter, it is the preferred choice.
