Network World’s 2011 Cool Yule Tools – The List Has Hit the Wires (and the Wireless)

Looking for a gift that will warm the heart of techie on your list (or, don’t be shy, perhaps yourself)? Look no further than Network World’s annual holiday gift list.

I was about to sign off for the Thanksgiving holiday here, but Keith Shaw mentioned to me that the results of many (very many!) hours of hands-on product testing for this year's record crop (more than 150!) of Network World holiday gifts is now available. I am once again pleased to have had the opportunity to participate as a reviewer, and I also set a record, carefully testing more than 25 products. A few of these made the hits reel, so to speak, and most were just great. There are gifts in every price range here, so I urge you to take a look. As a serious techie/propeller-head/nerd/I've-been-called-worse, I'd be happy with almost any of these, and I'm sure almost everyone on your gift list will feel the same.

OK - now - Happy Thanksgiving to all; see you next week.
