| My all time Favorite Tablet PC Computer Case - tabletpc2.com Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:42 AM PDT In October 2004 this bag was the TabletPC2.com product of them month, almost two years later, nothing else has come close and the Targus 15.4" Rolling Notebook Backpack remains my favorite computer bag. Where has this bag taken me? into the homes and offices of Actors, athletes Directors and Producers. Las Vegas, Manhattan, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills and countless other city's. Microsoft, Miramax, Universal......It's traveled by car, plane, Limo, taxi and bus, bounced up and down stairs, rode in elevators and on more then one occasion been used as a door jamb in a hotel room.
I still have a dozens of cases from various events including my $425.00 Tumi Wheel-A-Way Computer Brief. In fact I have at least 15 or 20 computer cases in varying designs, colors and styles. Wheeled and non wheeled, backpacks, briefcases, bump cases, hard cases, soft cases, black cases, colored cases, men's cases, woman's cases. While I do use some of them when the occasion calls for it, even though I have only used it as a backpack once or twice, I use the Taurus Rolling Notebook Backpack at least 90% of the time. Besides the fact that this was the first case I had seen labeled "Tablet PC Compatible" what makes this one stand out from the pa ck........... Just about everything. Why? because its designed to functional. It's light, easy to maneuver and has a place for everything from my sunglasses to my water bottle and everything in between and it slips easily under the seat in front me on most airlines. Another plus is that the nondescript look gives no to clue to what's inside. For those who move through airports and events with multiple technology devices and don't want their computer case to be noticeable, the Targus rolling backpack does the trick.Its not unusual for me to be carrying two or more Tablet PC's along with my stash of accessories: Wacom pens, Targus Mini Kaleidoscope Optical Retractable Mouse and usb and slim hub, Tablet stands, Software cases, assorted cables, stowaway keyboard, digital camera or cameras, extra batteries, power cords for multiple devices . Business cards, regular pens, multiple usb keys, bottled water, my purse, makeup bag, etc, etc, The compartmental design of this rolling wonder means there is a place for everything and everything The file section in the main compartment easily holds two Tablets,(three if necessary) the pocket on the flap from the main compartment has a zippered mesh pocket that's perfect for anything i need to get to quickly. (usually my usb keys and lip gloss) The interior front section has plenty of room for all my power cords, makeup and hair brushes.
Bottom front pocket: has compartments for pens, business cards, a hook for usb key chains, and it large enough to hold a book and all the travel documents you may need at the airport as well. Mesh pockets on both sides hold bottled water, The back compartment is perfect for notebooks, t-shirts and hats picked up along the way, or a change of clothes for an over night excursion, Its absolutely amazing how much this rolling case can hold! As far as value goes, given how well the the Targus Rolling backpack holds up to use and abuse, this might be the best 69.99 you have ever spent. In conclusion: Not only is the Targus Rolling Notebook Backpack my all time favorite computer bag, it is my favorite "Overnight Escape" bag as well, which earns it a place on "The List" and the Tablet PC2 Favorite designation.
From the Targus web site: Targus' first Rolling Notebook Backpack combines the best of both worlds. At first glace you can see that it is a stylish, durable backpack with plenty of features but look a bit closer and you can see that it is also a roller. The TSB700 glides on in-line skate wheels and includes a 2-tier telescoping locking handle for easy navigation. A protective rear flap holds the shoulder straps in place when using it as a roller, then lower the flap to cover the wheels for greater comfort when in backpack mode. For additional convenience it has a handle grip on the bottom of the case that allows for easy lifting into your car or an airline overheard compartment. Other features include a padded, removable slip case for notebooks with up to 15.4" screens, top front pocket with protective lining for iPod/MP3 players, PDA or sunglasses, bottom front pocket with business card holder, pen loops and key clip, a main compartment with plenty of file and accessory storage, a large side pocket, even a side mesh water bottle holder. Stylish, practical and ready to go, this case has it all. Features:

| Finding a Qualified PC Repair Computer Technician in Israel
By
Beau Schutz
Tel Aviv----November 23.....Nowadays with just about every home and business in Israel having at least one or more PC's, the need for qualified computer repair technicians has skyrocketed. In response to this need, there has been a virtual "explosion" onto the scene, of computer "fixit" guys - some more qualified, conscientious and experienced than others. Because most Israeli users depend on their PC's for a wide variety of purposes - at home and at work and use them on a daily basis, it is critical that their computers function adequately and reliably and that their confidential and valuable, personal and business data remain safe, secure, and accessible.
If you should
be unfortunate enough to experience problems with your computer,
you would, no doubt, like to entrust it to a qualified, conscientious
professional, who you know will give you and your computer the
care and attention you both deserve. But how can you determine
who is qualified and who is not in Israel?
Ask about
their certifications of training and experience in Israel and
abroad. Check the
PC technicians references and make sure that past clients were
satisfied with the sales, service and or repair. Pay close
attention to what questions that he or she may ask about your
computer, itself, as well as how and what you use it for (particularly
with respect to which, if any, types of data might need to be
backed up). If the techie does not show sufficient interest to
ask the appropriate questions, he or she may end up making undesired
changes to your computer's operating system, programs or perhaps
most importantly, to your irreplaceable personal data. In order to
be certain that the technician has the best possible understanding
of the problem(s) you are having with your PC, as well as of how
best to satisfactorily diagnose and resolve them, be sure to give
him or her as full and detailed a description of the "symptoms"
as you possibly can.
Of the above list, items 1 and 2 are quite important, but perhaps most essential to determining whether or not a particular technician is likely to do the best possible job of solving your specific problems, and cause no harm or damage to your computer beyond that which you already have, are items 3 and 4. The importance of how many, as well as what types, of questions the technician asks you before taking on the job, about your computer, how you generally use it, and the nature of the malfunction(s) it is experiencing, cannot be stressed enough. Because, of course, the better idea the hi-tech professional has of what might be wrong with your machine, as well as what you, the customer, need or expect from him or her, the less chance there will be of data or program loss or damage, or other any potential misunderstandings as to what will need to be done, how best to do it, or how much it might cost. And naturally, a professional PC technician and repair service professional will always inquire as to what applications you use, and what mission-critical data needs to be backed up, just on the contingency, should it arise, that it may be necessary to format your drive, re-install your operating system, or in the event of any number of other possible causes of data loss or corruption during the repair process. If a technician fails to ask you about these issues, this indicates a serious, if not a critical lack of concern on his or her part for your priceless personal information.
An additional important factor to be considered is the techie's willingness to spend time, not only listening to your description of your PC or MacIntosh computer problems, but also to explain anything relevant to your particular situation, such as pointing out various service repair options and their respective possible costs, or potential risks, that might not be clearly apparent to a "non-techie" type of customer.
With the economy
in Israel as depressed as it is today, everyone is concerned with
how much a PC or Internet repair job will cost them – but
probably much more significant than the direct cost of the work,
itself, is the quality and reliability of the work to done. Ultimately,
a shoddy or unprofessional repair job can end up costing you much,
much more, financially, as well as in terms of precious time and
data lost as a result of improper or thoughtless workmanship. Beau

| Defying odds, PC sales set to post sharp rise - Seattle Times Posted: 17 Apr 2010 03:33 PM PDT The personal computer was beginning to look like yesteryear's gizmo, a technology relic overshadowed by smartphones, e-readers and, lately, Apple's iPad. But the old beige box has proved remarkably resilient and relevant. The PC industry shrugged off the recession last year to post a surprising rise in worldwide computer sales. In a sign of the vibrancy of the market, companies like Google and Nokia — not traditionally makers of PCs — have jumped into the competition; Google is developing an operating system to compete with Microsoft's Windows, and Nokia now sells a laptop. Meanwhile, the early indicators for this year show PC sales surging. Last week, Intel, the world's largest PC chip-maker, reported the highest first-quarter sales, $10.3 billion, and profit, $2.4 billion, in its history. After digesting Intel's results, a number of Wall Street analysts said the PC market could grow as much as 25 percent this year. While experts engage in a fierce debate about the true health of the overall economy, the technology sector has marched on in recovery mode. Consumers have led the PC charge through their fondness for netbooks, the cheap, tiny laptops that were introduced about three years ago. Rather than eating into laptop sales, these devices have attracted consumers to a new category of complementary computers. And now Apple, with its iPad, and other companies are seeking to lure even more buyers with their interpretations on a thinner, lighter computer. Intel officials attributed the first-quarter results to record purchases of laptop chips and of more expensive, faster chips. At the same time, they said, large corporations, many of which have 4-year-old computers, have finally started upgrading their aging machines. "We are seeing signs of life in the corporate market," said Stacy Smith, the chief financial officer at Intel. Rising from the bottom Last April, Paul Otellini, the chief executive at Intel, proclaimed the PC industry had hit bottom in early 2009 and would recover throughout the year. With sales across the technology sector at record lows and the worldwide economy mired in a slump, Otellini's optimism was questioned as premature. The research firm Gartner had, one month earlier, forecast PC sales would fall by 12 percent in 2009, which would have been their steepest decline in history. Ultimately, global PC sales rose more than 5 percent in 2009. The PC market's relative health stood in contrast to depressed markets for cars, cellphones, televisions and other goods used by people on a daily basis. Strength of netbooks Even on tight budgets, consumers continued to buy laptops in large quantities and flocked to netbooks, which accounted for more than one-fifth of laptop sales in regions like Europe.
Companies like Intel, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft make less money from the low-cost netbooks, but the devices have kept shipment numbers high by creating a new niche for computers. About 95 percent of people buy netbooks as an additional computer rather than as a laptop replacement, according to Intel's surveys of its customers. The introduction of Apple's iPad and other competing devices could extend this trend. Companies like Apple, HP and Nokia want to use trimmed-down, specialized versions of laptops as a way to offer people access to their content and software services, creating a deeper relationship with these customers in the process. "The hardware is a type of Trojan horse to give these companies access to consumers and their wallets," said Ashok Kumar, a technology analyst with Rodman & Renshaw. More competitors In addition to Google's expected release of its PC operating system and Nokia's laptop, both companies are preparing competitors to the iPad, according to people who have been briefed on the companies' plans but are not authorized to speak publicly about them. It remains difficult, however, to draw any conclusions about the vibrancy of the PC market and the overall economy, some analysts say. Roger Kay, a longtime PC industry analyst, said that in the 1990s, computers often were viewed as a leading indicator for the economy's behavior. "Corporations would buy them to invest in higher productivity in the future," he said. But he warned it was difficult in the previous decade to connect the health of the PC market to the health of the broader economy. PC sales, he said, "have slipped from leading to concurrent indicators." Smith from Intel said PCs had become such crucial devices to everyday life that they could withstand the gyrations of the economy better than most products and seemed to recover early. "The telling data point is one from last year when the PC market bottomed out and then recovered quickly in comparison to things like TVs, cars and washing machines," Smith said. "I can only take away that at least in this downturn, PCs were a leading indicator." Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
