This show is all about home computing and making the computer fit into our busy family lives. Steve looks at HP’s IQ506 Touchsmart PC, the “kitchen computer”. The IQ 506 has all in one design with a brilliant touch screen interface that will bring the family together. Communicating appointments, dates and messages are now easier than ever.

With today’s homes full of technology and computers becoming an integral part of our lives we need something to bring it all together. Steve looks at the HP MediaSmart Home Server. The Home Server can back up all our documents, pictures, music and movies from all our computers in one central location. It also makes those files available to any other computer on that network. The Home Server can be hooked into the internet so you’ll never be missing an important file when you’re away from home.
