Ok, Ok... I know it might make me a "geek", but I absolutely LOVED my Commodore 64 growing up.
I am absolutely thrilled to find that they are revamping the old style with a new interface. I can't wait to buy one! Read all about it here:

Twitter & Social Networking
There are many business people who rely on Twitter and other Social Networking sites as a complement to their marketing efforts. It is important to know how to use these sites and to use them responsibly. These sites have their own vulnerabilities, so be careful to learn as much as you can before taking the social networking plunge. I loved this article, partly because it covers everything that you need to know in an easy to understand format, but also because the graphic was so cute. :-)

When it comes to your computer, what do you actually need?
For so many of us, having the newest and most gadgets has become a status symbol of sorts. Gone are the days when the person who had the nicest car and the biggest house was the envy of their friends. Keeping up with the Joneses now means having the most advanced computer system, the newest iPad, the most apps on your iPhone, and the best peripheral devices.
But of the available technology, how much do you really need? To determine what you actually NEED, you need to consider what you need it FOR. Do you use your computer primarily to access the internet? Do you play computer games? Do you take, upload, print, and store lots of pictures? These are the things to consider when you are deciding what type of system to purchase. You want to make sure you have a fast enough processor to keep yourself from being frustrated as well as enough memory to serve your needs for a while.
This is a good article that talks about the different systems to help you decide what to look for... and what to avoid:
