I have brought the products up to the administrative bosses and they have just ignored it. So we will continue to save letters and briefs whenever and wherever we want.
We hire the jackasses that aren't smart nough to get in a Career Builder commercial.

All the more reason . . .
 

I was "" this close to buying one today on impulse. 2 gigs RAM, 2.33 processor 120 GB HD all for 2599.

Document management systems
 

The other two document managment systems I've seen are WorldDocs and Hummingbird. WorldDocs, from a user perspective, is about the same as iManage, although each has its quirks. I think iManage is a little smoother, but then it's what I learned first. Hummingbird I've only seen demo-ed, so I'm less certain how close it is.

Both iManage and WorldDocs, once installed and configured, are pretty easy to use. Instead of the standard "Save" dialog box, the DMS box pops up when you choose "Save" and it requires that you enter client number, matter number, document type, person drafting, person typing and a more lengthy name. Each will also track versions. You have to make an effort to override the system and save locally: enough effort to make it not worth while to buck the system, but not so much that it is impossible to save locally when necessary. Everyone will bitch for about 3 days, then accept the new system, except two secretaries who will never get it and who will have to leave. 6 months later no one will be able to conceive how you got along without it.

I've worked with iManage configured for an 8 attorney firm and a 250 attorney firm. It worked well in both places, but there was a pretty serious server for the bigger firm and searches could still be a little slow if not well defined (search: File text contains "Motion" AND "Dismiss") and run in the middle of the day.

One other thing - properly configured, iManage will allow secure access to documents via a web browser.

I'm not really answering the question but thought it might interest some folks to know about this site:

I found out about it by reading an article in the state bar association newsletter.

Thanks anway
 

My firm has advised me that it is too cheap to provide anything other than a cardboard box so thanks anyway.

Pearl
 

I just ordered myself a BB Pearl, which was released for Cingular today. Has anyone been using one on TMo?

Send them a copy of the new FRCP. If your firm has ever been subpoenaed, the new rules should wake them up.

NY Times Review of 11 cameras under $300

Macbook Pro
 

I have some untaxed 1099 income this year. I was planning on buying a new macbook pro as an offsetting business expensee.

I am undecided between the 15" and 17".

Any suggestions?

Ideally, I would like the 15" with the 160GB hard drive butthat can only be ordered online and I can't buy that before the end of the year and have it delivered at a time where I will be home to get it as we have Xmas and beginning of January trips.

The 17" I can grab at any apple store, but I think it might be too unweildy.

Does anyone have any experience calling Apple with specific delivery instructions?

Macbook Pro
 

You don't have an issue here. once you order the computer and Apple has the right to payment and an obligation to send you the computer, you can take the deduction as either a cash basis or accrual based taxpayer.

As a computer user, I can tell you based on my experiences with Dell that the weight and maneuverability issues between a 15" and a 17" are not that great in absolute terms, but the relative difference is substantial.

Macbook Pro
 

Can you get the Apple Store to order it (and hold it) for you?

Could you get it shipped to your office?

My experience ordering online was that it was pretty fast - the computer (with three or four options) was built and shipped within 24 hours and arrived direct from Shanghai within about 72.

Problem solved
 

Friend turned me on to a reseller that had one in stock.

Saved ten bux and working it right now.

Is there any way to upload my bookmarks somewhere so I can move them from one computer to another?

key stroke software
 

Greetings y'all;

I have an associate working for me (whom theoretically I am "mentoring") whom I believe surfs porn during the work day and also perhaps is a semi-regular poster on Infirmation.com and greedyassociates.com. I can't condone this type of stuff especially since the guy only billed 2087.60 last year.

I would rather not go to IT to get to the bottom of this as (i) it would make me look like a bigger hypocrit than I already am, (ii) would give them more blackmail opportunity, and (iii) would probably cost me between $500-1000. My thought is to install some "keystroke" technology on his computer myself and monitor what the hell he is doing.

Any recs on that type of software?

Dot mac will let you do it. Also you can export from Firefox's bookmark manager and email that file to yourself.

2. Dot mac is good if you have two computers (or more) you want to keep in sync. If it's just a one-time deal, because you have a new computer, just export and copy the bookmarks file. You can email it to yourself, or use a key drive or cd rom.

iPhone is interesting, but not for me...

It has BlackBerry support? I don't see that anywhere.

If it indeed has BB support I may have to reevaluate my purchase thoughts...

I'm sorta kinda irritated that I just upgraded my phone and I just bought an iPod nano, though I suppose I can wait a few years to join this bandwagon.

BTW, I got myself a Nike+ pedometer as a New Year's resolution present, and I found this chip holder thingie through a rec at my local running store. It should get here in the next few days, and I'll report on how well everything works.

If quad band phone means FUCK Cingular and can use with any carrier this shit will bust out. Right now 90 bucks a share is a ceiling.

Macworld Keynote
 

Question is how much phone will be?

Macworld Keynote
 

This is Newton v 3.0. Awesome.

Macworld Keynote
 

Macworld Keynote
 

Yeah, about $900.

Quad band means you can use it in any country. Your choices here are Cingular and T-Mobile.

Is it unlocked? It best be . . .

Macworld Keynote
 

It won't be: the demo is running on Cingular. Cingular will have an exclusive, at least at first...
