This is my FreeAgent review. Remembering the Freeagent demo I tried a few years previously, but opted out of because of a lack of multi-currency [...]
With my previous laptop having finally succumbed to old age, it was time to find another tool to allow me to work remotely. At home, a self-built desktop PC serves me well in my comfortable chair, but on sunny days when the garden calls, or when travelling anywhere else for any reason, the smartphone doesn’t [...]

I have been trialling the supposedly advanced features of my smartphone (Nokia N900) which syncs my phone diary to my online account. The results are mixed. I’m now very tempted to go back to paper. The perceived added benefits of [...]
