By day I'm a consultant working with a popular line of accounting software called Sage MAS 90.
My company web site is http://www.s-consult.com and we provide training, consulting and troubleshooting for all versions of Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 to customers located throughout the United States.
I live in Glastonbury with my two kids (aged 9) who bring special meaning to the concept that "all kids are cute when they're somebody else's".
In my spare time I love hiking, disco dancing, macrame, ping pong, and watching paint dry.
The thoughts and commentary on this page are my own and not anyone else's but shouldn't that be obvious?
Even though I wrote this post back in May 2008 -- I don't think much has changed.
I briefly have returned to carrying a BlackBerry Bold -- but am now re-examining that two device strategy since Google Sync has emerged to significantly improve Gmail integration to the iPhone.

For $9 per user per month, Contact Manager Edition will store and manage all contacts and accounts in the cloud. The product will integrate with any email system, including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo. The system will track all emails, keeping a record of customer interactions and will run pre-configured and customized reports on contacts and accounts. Of course, this tracking system can be customized to track data that is most important to an user’s needs.
Interestingly, the Contact Manager Edition will come automatically with integration with Google Apps, the search giant’s cloud based productivity suite that is steadily gaining enterprise customers and already has a foothold among small businesses. community. All applications within Google Apps, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, etc, will be integrated with the lightweight CRM. Not only is this an interesting partnership, but the strength of Salesforce’s CRM combined with the steady growth of Google Apps certainly puts pressure on Microsoft.
I've heard numerous times (as well as observed) that most clients use their CRM for little more than contact management. Whether that's right or wrong that seems to be the reality for large numbers of people. At $9/month the pricing is starting to become realistic for small businesses.

It was one moment in time that she just wasn't ready for.
Whitney Houston cut short her much-hyped comeback performance on "Good Morning America" Tuesday after apparently losing her voice.
The Grammy-winning diva got through just three songs from her new album "I Look to You" before apologizing to the 5,000-person crowd for overusing her famous pipes.
"I'm so sorry. I did 'Oprah.' I've been talking for so long. ... I talked so much, my voice," she said, trailing off.

There's a new plug-in available that requires you to be using Gmail and BlackBerry OS 4.5+
The plug-in sits inside your native Gmail inbox (no more third party software is required - though it's still available) and enables "tricks" that most Gmail users need like archiving (saving) copies of all email (as opposed to deleting), conversational threads (similar messages on one topic between multiple senders are bundled as one message instead of taking up multiple email messages) and remote searching of your entire Gmail mailbox.
Details of the new plug-in are below.
The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in introduces a more advanced level of email service integration for BlackBerry® smartphones. It supports additional Google Mail™ features that provide BlackBerry® Internet Service subscribers with broader access to their Google Mail accounts while on the go.
Features of Enhanced Google Mail
The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in introduces the following features:
View related messages as a single conversation (conversation view)
Note: Google Mail enhanced features are only available within the Enhanced Google Mail plug-in and are not available when viewing Google Mail messages in the Messages application on the BlackBerry smartphone.
