Kickstartnews Revue - Podcast #34 - Show Notes for January 15, 2006

Here's the lineup for show #34:

• Letters to the Editor: Five brand new reader and listener e-mails—the actual temperature of the Cold Heat soldering iron tip and is it really safe, creating searchable databases easily with HanDBase, Xandros Surfside Linux versus Xandros Linux Desktop 3, using real music to create a ringtone for your Treo 650, and some aggravating USB 2.0 problems with an iPod 60GB;
• Kickstartnews Confab: A serious and hopefully money saving Confab about changing your office over to some open source software. If software licensing costs, particularly for office software, have got you down or maybe looking at, ahem, not-so-legal acquisitions, pay attention to what we've got to say about this particular headache. There are solutions at hand which are surprisingly good;
• Business Online and Technology: Judi Tyabji Wilson joins Howard for a brand new BOAT segment—the first of 2006. Some of those Christmas and holiday sales are coming back. How are you going to handle and how well are you currently handling the returns, exchanges, complaints, and the deliveries which didn't arrive on time (or at all)?

Here are the rest of the Show Notes . . .
