I've written the award-winning weekly Computer Watch column since June 1991, when I took it over from two staff writers for The Toronto Star, Canada's largest-circulation daily newspaper. The column covers new technology developments of interest to home and small business computer users. It features interviews with interesting industry personalities, news and reviews of new computer products, along with colourful commentary. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Product prices and other data such as Web links are current when researched, but are not updated for subsequent changes. Computer Watch runs Mondays in The Toronto Star's @Biz section. Several other Canadian newspapers carry this syndicated column. If you're an editor who wants to know if Computer Watch is available in your market, contact webmaster@morochove.com. |
