Recommended Products
I recommend, sell, and install the products listed below:
Dell computers and monitors
I highly recommend Dell’s products, particularly their business lines of laptops and desktops. Their Gold Tech Support (ProSupport) is the best tech support in the business — I highly recommend it for small businesses. I especially recommend their Latitude laptops, and Optiplex desktops. I can help you configure what you need!
ESET NOD32*
The anti-virus industry is going through some major changes right now because the bad guys have gotten so sophisticated at getting through and infecting users. My current recommendation is ESET’s NOD32 Antivirus. It has been successful for my users in preventing most infections so far. ESET is a great balance of effectiveness and light use of resources.

HP printers
Over my years, I’ve found HP products to be the most reliable and best performing. I am less and less happy each year with their new products, but HP seems to be the least-worst of a lousy industry. That being said, they make plenty of printers you should avoid. (How is that for a ringing endorsement!)
Mozy Remote Backup*
I recommend this for home users with lots of data like pictures, music, videos, etc. It is expensive an difficult to implement a backup solution for home users that can be stored off-site, but Mozy Home serves that need very well. They charge a monthly or annual fee and all of your data is safe, no matter what happens to your computer or your house. Sign up for Mozy Home
. For businesses, you will pay per gigabyte used: Sign up for MozyPro.
Bsecure*
I recommend this for those looking for a web filtering solution that can’t be bypassed. I typically install this in combination with another filtering system. Buy Bsecure Now

I personally use and highly recommend these services:
Toodledo – a to do list web application
LogMeIn - remotely use your computer from another computer or your iPhone!
Apple iPhone
