OK, here’s a pretty cool peripheral. This one comes from Newton Peripherals. It is a bluetooth mouse that you store in your laptop’s pc slot. Also known as the PCI slot, it sits empty on most laptops. When wifi was new, people stuck wifi pc cards in their laptops. This is one item you won’t outgrow. Even as you get a new laptop, you can bring your mouse with you.

It recharges when in your laptop. Not sure it’s the most comfortable mouse around, but if you want to travel light, this may be the one for you.

Certainly it is better than relying on the “eraser nub” many laptops provide for moving the mouse. Personally, I prefer the touch pad. Even on a PC, a touchpad on the keyboard saves me from moving my right hand from keyboard to mouse.

“Disk Jockey has 7 modes built-in which allow you to do just about anything for less.”

A law firm asked me, “What should we do when the client ships us a couple of hard drives?” The short answer is to make a forensic copy; put the original in an anti-static bag, label and inventory it. The vendor or lit support tech can then work their magic on the copy.

There are other reasons to make a copy. I suggest every company with employees make a forensic copy of their hard drives before repurposing them.

Below is a list of the copy modes, written by their marketing people. You can see the product and prices here.

Fast Disk to Disk Copies - Fast, block-level, hard disk to hard disk copies, no computer required. Copy hard disks without the use of extra software at speeds that will blow your mind! Imagine setting up your company’s systems in less time than ever before!

Disk Copy Verification - Allows you to verify that the copy you just made is an exact duplicate ensuring that you have no loss of data.

Easy Spanning - Easily make one large volume from two disks attached to the Disk Jockey, then connect the Disk Jockey to your Firewire or USB 2.0 equipped Mac or Windows PC.

Standalone HD Mode - Mount one or two hard disks to the desktop of your Macintosh or Windows computer through Firewire or USB 2.0 without installing any extra drivers.

Hard Disk Read Test - Disk Jockey will perform a sector by sector hard disk read test on your drives allowing you to get a better feel for the overall health of your hard disk.

Mirroring - Disk Jockey allows you to Mirror two hard disks for real-time backup (RAID level 1). If one drive fails, no worries, you’ve got that same data on your other drive. Imagine, along with everything else, hardware based mirroring too!

Two, two, two Levels of Erase - Disk Jockey offers you two levels of disk erasure. First is the quick, one-pass hard disk data erase which does exactly that. The second featured erasing technique is the NSA standard three pass erase for the ultimate security. Perfect for government applications when security is imperative.
