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.

Steve explains how you can use the Internet as our telephone service using VOIP, or voice over IP. If you haven’t thought of using the Internet as your telephone provider, this show might make you think again. Steve looks at services offered by Vonage, and shows you that you can have all the features of your current telephone provider, plus have all the freedom of checking your messages online from anywhere you have an Internet connection. With Vonage, you can also have a local number anywhere in Canada, United States or Over Seas.
