Tech Fast

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

This week I took part in the inaugural Technology Fast on the RTE 1 radio show The Business http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thebusiness/ You can listen to the show on the website.

This was a great opportunity for me to find out what it is like to have to survive without IT of any kind.

I had to hand over my laptop and my Nokia N71 smart phone. When I handed them over I was lost and it made it hard to work as almost everything that I do is based online.

All in all giving up Technology for 48 hours was an excellent opportunity but not something I will be doing again soon.

Windows 7 have you got it?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Windows 7 is shaping up to be the most significant desktop operating system upgrade since Windows XP was released more than eight years ago. In fact it is predicted that more than 170 million units of Windows 7 will ship by the end of 2010.

Do you think you or your company will make the big leap and get on the Windows 7 wagon?
