Have to say I love this pen. Not saying there aren’t any drawbacks. There are and we’ll get to that in a minute. Overall, the pen is a dream. The audio recording can be of surprisingly good quality. Of course the environment has a lot to do with it but generally for small rooms it has been great – maybe better if I used the headphones which records what you actually hear, I haven’t had

Websites are like our babies. We conceive the idea in our heads, we labor for hours and months birthing it, sometimes spend a ton of money too and to us, it’s awesome! But is it for your visitors?

If you failed to backup your computer and it died. Would you pay big bucks to restore that data from your hard drive? Depending on what you have on it but I’d say if your whole business is on it, you’d probably think seriously about it.
