Want to cut down on clutter and make more room on your desk? Why buy three or four machines when one will do the trick? Consider buying a new multipurpose device. Some scan, fax, print and copy. For a look at the best ones out there, visit http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/larry.htm .

Speaking of multipurpose, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) are one of the hottest selling electronic gizmos this year. They store your appointments, addresses, to do list and other vital information. Whether you already have one or find one in your stocking later this month, you can extend the usefulness of your PDA with new software. This week’s Web Tour points you in the right direction: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/tour.htm

Do you have a site to recommend? Let us know, please: mailto:comments@...

This week I’d like to share a new site with you. As someone who travels quite a bit, I’m always searching for the best airfares. Typically, I start at the United Airlines site, as it has the most flights from the Bay Area. It also lists the fares of a few other carriers as well. Depending on my destination, I next search other airline sites. But a new site, FareChase [ http://www.farechase.com/ ], does a lot of the work for you. Type in your point of departure, your destination and your travel dates and FareChase hunts down a selection of fares. It’s similar to comparison shopping sites like My Simon, but with airfares and hotels.
