See myself and a panel of web experts reviews participants web sites at Web Builder Las Vegas September 9, 10 & 11, 2002As most of us are aware, the year 2002 has presented many challenges for the technology sector. This has been brought on in part by the hangover from the burst Internet bubble in 2000 coupled by the large layoffs from various technology firms caused by the slow-down in the US economy.
The slow-down within the technology sector while hurting the earnings of technology firms, may actually be an opportunity for other sectors. Over the past 12 months, the technology sector has seen the cost for hardware and technology services drop in light of this increased competition. How can you take advantage of this?

I was heavily featured in the Wall Street Journal's "Startup Journal" article "Find a Web Developer Who Fits Your Needs".
My company K'nechtology Inc. has been evaluating a variety of software packages over the past few months. Here's what we've liked.
Looking for a low cost package to handle your large volume outbound e-mails? While there are many packages on the market that contain more features, nothing beats the "Mach5 Mailer" for features per dollar. Mach5 Mailer lets you send customized email messages to an unlimited number of customers, at speeds of over 10,000 messages per hour. Key features include support for HTML rich e-mails, integration to numerous databases and the ability to send test/approval e-mails.
is available for $99.95 USD. To download a free evaluation of Mach 5 or to order your own copy, visit Mach5.com.

If you're looking for a package to help you manage and clean-up all those digital pictures, look no further then the soon to be released Adobe "Photoshop Elements 2.0". We've just finished our evaluation of the beta version and this feature rich product is perfect for home or general office use with an estimated street prices of $150 CDN ($99 USD). Photoshop Elements 2.0 should be available at your favourite software retailer early this fall or it can be preorder on-line at Adobe.com
We are currently reviewing the latest version of Adobe's "GoLive" (version 6.0). This tool promises to support collaborative development and generate compliant code. Our preliminary test show that the code is compliant. We are only in the very early stages of evaluation, but so far things are looking good as GoLive was able to generate valid XHTML (the next generation of HTML) code. Due to the rich features of this product, GoLive is well suited for the established web developer(s) and it is not a hobbiest's tool. If you would like to see our final review of GoLive, please e-mail us at answers@knechtology.com and we'll be happy to send it to you once we've completed our review.
I hope you've enjoyed this newsletter and please forward it to anyone you think might enjoy reading it. If you didn't enjoy it, please reply to it with the subject REMOVE and I'll be happy to take you off my list.
