Kickstartnews Revue - Podcast #46 - Show Notes for April 9, 2006

Here's the lineup for show #46:

• Hot News: Item 1 - Nortel Networks is restating its earnings again. Again. The stock price keeps dropping. There's a lesson here for small business. Item 2 is about competition. Microsoft is rolling out Kahuna - the codename for the next version of MSN Hotmail. The pundits are disappointed. They are also wrong. Howard will explains.
• Letters: Four new reader and listener e-mails this week. Tracking down a trial version of PowerDirector, Membership Plus 2005 Deluxe issues, problems with Image Armada virtual galleries, and the AlphaShield X2 security device versus software firewalls.
• KSN Confab: We're upset, a bit, because a really valuable employee announced she was quitting to take a better job. We're going to talk about that. There's a lot of time and money invested in that employee and now we've got to start training someone new?
• KSN Interview: KSN Managing Editor Howard was going to do a Big City Byte rant this week, but he also had the chance to interview Renee Revis, the founder and lead developer at Leading Step Software in Durham, North Carolina. Leading Step produces learning and teaching software that runs on Palm OS PDAs for Grade 3 to 6 elementary school students. Wonderful stuff!
