Introduction - Part II

I received a suggestion that maybe I should include some information about the hardware and software that I will be using in order to review these services. That way all of you will have an idea of how these services might work on your systems. So, here you go! I will be utilizing two PCs and a MAC. I am not sure how technical I should be, but here are some specifics for each one.

Dell Latitude - D620

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 with Service Pack 2
• Intel Core 2 - 2 CPU - T5600 at 1.83 GHz each
• .99 GB of RAM
• Outlook 2003
• Internet Explorer 6
• Firefox Version 3.0.6

Gateway Tablet PC - CX2724

• Microsoft Windows XP - Tablet PC Edition 2005, Version 2002 with Service Pack 2
• Intel - CPU - T2050 at 1.6 GHz
  
• .99 GB of RAM
• Outlook 2003
• Internet Explorer 7
  
• Firefox Version 3.0.6

Apple MacBook

• Mac O/S X - Leopard - Version 10.5.6
• Intel Core 2 - 2 CPU - 2.16 GHz
• .99 GB of RAM
• Entourage 2004
  
• Safari Version 3.2.1
  
• Firefox Version 3.0.6
  

With the exception of the Dell, my internet connection will be at 8Mbps and I am connected through a 54Mbps Wireless Router in my home network. The Dell is the computer I use for work and when in the office I enjoy a 100Mbps connection.

So that should take care of all the technical-ities and I am just about ready to start reviewing services. Come back soon!
