Sharing a special moment of your vacation with loved ones back home has never been easier. Thanks to a growing number of free blog, photo-sharing, and social networking Web sites, such as Windows Live Spaces and Where are You Now? (WAYN), friends and family no longer have to wait until you get home to hear about your vacation |

Instead, try toting your laptop in something more common like a padded briefcase or suitcase. 2. Never leave access numbers or passwords in your carrying case. Keeping your password with your laptop is like keeping the keys in the car. Without your password or important access numbers it will be more difficult for a thief to access your personal and corporate information. Click here for more information |
