HOME OFFICE

Jerry works on houses and fields new client calls referred by his custom website, while Joelle now balances their books in a fraction of the time. Heaps of old contracting paperwork can be scanned into easy-to-find digital files, accessible on any computer in the house, as well as Jerry's mobile device. And in her new-found downtime, Joelle can convert her classic cassette tape collection to mp3s, or download new albums in seconds from emusic.com.
