  1. Re:The Economist on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    The Economist is an excellent read, nice to see what is going on in the rest of the world, and to get another angle on how the US is perceived from abroad.

    Other good mags:

    Harvard Business Review - excellent business theory, not for the faint of heart.

    Forbes - good conservative coverage of US business.

    In NYC Crain's is a good local paper for business info.

  2. Re:Place for a laptop in NYC on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    J&R is excellent for walk in buys - just got my Toshiba M205-810 from them, prices for high end seem to be pretty in line with online purchases.

  3. thoughts of a tabletpc owner on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 1

    I can recommend the Acer C110 strongly for note taking, project planning and sketching. I have had one since they released - i think it was around May or June of 03.

    Pros in my experience are:
    It keeps all your notes, sketches, etc... in one place and easy to find.
    The handwriting is fast and fluid, you'll feel like you are on a pad of paper.

    Cons are:
    Battery life is terribly short (3 hours or so)
    The tabletPC interface needs alot of work still, you'll be glad to have a keyboard attached - i cannot imagine trying to use a pure tablet - convertibles are the only ones that i would consider.
    The resolution of the screen and the screen size is too low to make it optimal for painting (1024x768)

    another good page for info:
