Telikin computers made for Seniors?

Hmmm.... I guess I would have to play with one of these to be convinced.

Here is a device that is featured in a recent Inc. Magazine issue (that I have been receiving for free), but some of the information is out of date.  It was a brief blurb about a computer made by a company called Telikin that makes a touchscreen computer with customized software that runs most of the internet/communication functions that is supposed to be easier for "seniors" to use.

Not endorsing this product, but just saying that it is available.  One of my concerns is always backing up data.  The company offers a $9.95 per month option.  It is not clear what it covers.

It states that they have sold computers on Newegg and SkyMall, but I do not find them being currently sold there.  They are listed on Amazon where I used to be able to link to products, but because of the recent State of California legislation requiring Amazon to collect sales tax, Amazon has terminated any commissions.

The Art of the Handoff - When to delegate?

Okay.  It has been forever since my last post.  I have been submerged and coming up for a breath before going down again.  Well....we'll see...

I am still getting Inc. Magazine for free (except for my time, etc).  In it is an article by Jason Fried that is titled "The Art of the Handoff" where he talks about the decision to get an assistant for him.

All about productivity and efficiency

Tagging onto my previous post from Inc. Magazine (disclaimer that I am getting it for free at this time) and their website about organization in the office (which I would include both home and at "work").

They also have a section on their website about "How to Create a Productive Office Environment."  The highlights include:

• Heating and Cooling
• Open vs. Closed
• Flexibility
• Sustainability
• Ergonomics
• Technology
• Style

Inc. Magazine: Organize your office/workspace

I am currently receiving Inc. Magazine for free.  In the most recent issue I found links to their website that helps with organizing workspaces.

Highlights include:

• Categories of organizing (paper, stuff, electronic documents, space, time)
• Measuring productivity
• Sources of clutter
• Value of a personal assistant
• Adjusting to a home office
• Common mistakes
• Tools
• Resources

Of note, one of the things that they mention that will help is the Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner.  I own two of these (one for home and one for work). The Rack2Filer program is very intuitive.
