DataTravler300Kingtson has announced their DataTraveler 300 which, according to them, is the world’s first 256 GB USB Flash drive. Using their included software up to 90% of the drives content can be password protected and no administrator rights are required. As of this writing the drive is only available in the UK, but should be available in the US shortly. I can name at least two Los Angeles ACNs, who probably have this on pre-order.

Cable Identification Made Easy

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Cable IDTired of trying to explain which cable is which over the phone when trying to help someone with their tech issues? Here is one solution to that problem that I have found helps my clients. Now I just say “unplug the cable marked with the green disc.” If they decide to do a little rearranging, not a problem, this solution also has matching stickers to place on each port so they will know where each cable should be connected. A starter set of 10 reusable dotz is just $10.
