Let me be frank!

Sometimes my faithful servant lets me down... at the moment I can least afford it, my computer chrashes.

Will Acronis True Image Home version 11.0 come to the rescue?!

I have just put my trusted computer to the test.

Astute readers of DigitalReviews Network will know that we have reviewed a number of products from Nuance over the years, including earlier versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  Check out for instance our earlier review of DNS 9.

I have been very impressed with the later versions of DNS despite it having to cope with my problematic accent and it seems that a minor upgrade to 9.5 is not a big deal. It would certainly not warrant another in-depth review.
However, I have noticed a substantial increase in accuracy which might be due in large part to the wireless Plantronics headset supplied with this particular edition.

If you are a manager, have you ever wanted to be able to keep track of employee information?  Managers already have a busy and hectic life, and keeping tracking of employees is more like a chore to them.  If only managers could keep that kind of information organized so they can focus on more important tasks.  Today, I will be taking a look at a software program whose main purpose is to provide managers a tool that consolidates employee information all into a single program interface.  So let's put myself in the shoes of a manager and see how well this software works.

The Best Things In Life Are Free -- and so it is with ComSwiki.

A decade ago I wouldn't have imagined sitting at a desk with a Mac Mini tucked away underneath, wired to the internet all the time. Yet today it's as if it has always been this way! If you'd ask me which tool I can't do without anymore, there's no doubt in my mind: you'd hear "Comswiki!" as my answer straight away. In this review I'll tell you how I got addicted...
