Video-conferencing equipment

Do you need to buy a good video-conferencing unit for your client?

I have used many different types and at the moment I like the LifeSize Room device.

Advice about bags / suitcases: Samsonite

I have travelled a lot with and for my clients and what I have learned is that Samsonite bags and suitcases are worth the higher price.

Small tip: you can always return a damaged Samsonite bag with an official dealer and get it repaired for free!

Google Alerts

Google Alerts can be very useful and effective for personal assistants.

http://alerts.google.com

This is what Google says it can do:

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

- monitoring a developing news story
- keeping current on a competitor or industry
- getting the latest on a celebrity or event
- keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams

----

I have used it for tracking what is said about my clients and used it for tracking patented products and names for one of my clients.

Advice for the choice of printers

My advice for the choice of a printing solution is to always choose for a laser printer. There are all-in-one solutions (printer/scanner/copy) in laser and inkjet. I prefer laser, because:
- the laser prints don't create stains when you run your finger over the text
- the black test is more clear and crip
- the laster printers don't get so easily damaged like the ink-jet counterparts
- laser printers are faster
