Cataloging CDs, Books and DVDs - Part Deux
In a previous post, I wrote about the Collectorz.com cataloging software and bar code scanner. I mentioned that a serial to USB adapter wasn't included altought the Website says so. Well, a few days ago, I received the promised adaptor. Looks like it was out of stock when they shipped the scanner. I guess that a brief note in the first shipment saying that it was backordered would have helped ;-)

Small Keyboard/Touchpad for a Server
I was looking for a replacement keyboard/mouse for my server recently. I was looking for something small, no numeric keypad and with a built-in touchpad. I went to see the good folks at MicroBytes LaSalle and saw the Adesso AKB-410US USB keyboard/touchpad. I plugged the keyboard on my Windows 2003 Server 64bits box and it worked as is without installing any device drivers.

Shipping and Packaging
I recently bought an upgrade to Sage's Simply Accounting 2008 thru their Website. When I received the package I was shocked to see that the software box was not inside a shipping box; Sage just placed the shipping labels directly onto the software box. For a moment, I was shocked and not happy but thinking about it, it makes sense for the environnement. Why put this box into another box (more dead trees) and fill it with styrofoam filling material?
