(Law Office Computing Magazine ceased publication in 2006 and its materials are no longer available on-line. Many of these articles were written with my good friend and fellow attorney Tom Boedeker. Earlier articles between 1992 and 2003 are not included because they dealt primarily with hardware, software and technology concepts that are now obsolete.)
