Good job covering disaster recovery. Too few people think about it until it’s too late.

As for tools to add, I can’t live without my ScanSnap S510 scanner. It is the single best tool I’ve ever bought. The fact that every executive at TigerDirect.com has one on their desk says a lot since they have access to every technology available.

I like mozy.com for backup as it’s offsite if anything happened at my house (fire, theft, earthquake, etc). I’m a fan of SugarSync, too, since you can use it more like an online file server to access anywhere.

I also can’t live without Evernote. Having the ability to store account info, bookmarks, project notes (especially research for blog posts) is a major organization improvement. I don’t have to deal with piles of scrap paper or remember what folder I put a file in on my pc as it’s all stored, ocr’d, tagged and instantly searchable on my desktop, online and on my phone, for free.

I used to have dual 19″ widescreen monitors, but have gone back to a 15″ laptop for total mobility since Starbucks is my part time office now. I haven’t really missed the larger screens much, which is a surprise since I used them for years.

I like your list, only thing i don’t like is the laser mouse. The mac ones are great, but I have had some trouble with pc based wireless mouses.

Great list of tools. I would love to have dual monitors. Right now I use a desktop and laptop side by side but two monitors sounds pretty appealing.

Good information brother, mac or pc?

Do you find that having two screens actually can distract you?

I was thinking of getting two screens but then I thought I can only do one thing at a time anyway?

Just interested in your point of view really

Hi Michael,
Another great post and, as many of your readers are from the UK, I hope you don’t mind me plugging our fire safes which are the same as Amazon’s but cheaper.
This is a great blog and any serious new blogger should get your RSS feed as you give no-hype, sensible information that we can all learn from.
Hoping to see you at DC in March (I’m a Maverick like your Dad).
