As the lines between technology and lifestyle blur, the choices become limitless and overwhelming. What works for you? Does your business require a computer at a desk? Are you chauffeuring kids, running errands and need to answer emails throughout the day? This workshop explores . . .

• Email - How can "really important" emails be safeguarded?
• Mobile computer - Can a tablet or smartphone replace a laptop?
• Avoiding downtime - Is paid antivirus software "worth it"?
• Software alternatives - Are there solutions besides MS Office?
• Online research - Can free web browser add-ons improve research skills?
