Here are a few suggestions on the hardware side: - Laptop computer (I have used ThinkPads for about 10 years and have been pleased with them) - UPS/surge protector - 20" (or larger) flat screen monitor (your monitor is your workplace so get one with as much real estate as you can afford; Dell has a very nice one with a USB hub built right into it) - wireless keyboard and wireless optical mouse - adjustable keyboard tray (think ergonomics) - high quality office chair (ditto) - color printer (great for business cards) - cordless phone (5.8 GHz so it does not create problems for the wireless network) - decent headset to go with the cordless phone (no one looks cute with one shoulder permanently 4 inches higher) - convergence handheld - cell phone/PDA/email (I have been happy with my recently-acquired Treo 600 and I know other folks who use the Blackberry cell phone or the most recent Kyocera; each, of course, has its strengths and weaknesses) - car adapter (so you can plug it into a power outlet in a car and then you can plug laptop, cell phone charger, printer, etc. into it) - thumb drive (great for transferring files) George George J.

Not surprisingly, I will be addressing various tech-type issues. The tenative title for the presentation is: "Ten or Twenty Ways to Spend Your Money on Things You Didn't Think You Really Need, but Really Do" Any suggestions from this group would be greatly appreciated. I think one of the important pieces of equipment any new practitioner needs is a good scanner with a paper feed. Any specific suggestions as to the type of scanner that might fill this bill would be particularly appreciated. ******************************************** Stuart Levine Fisher & Winner, LLP 315 North Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Telephone: 410.385.2000 Telecopier: 443.927.7075 Cellphone: 410.802.5817 Weblog: http://taxbiz.blogspot.com http://www.taxation-business.com [email protected] ********************************************* -/-/-/-/-/ There is a read/write Web page with resources that will be linked there and used during the Seminar on PDFs for lawyers and legal applications: http://Network-Lawyers.org/PDFLinks -/-/-/-/-/ Yahoo!
