He’s particularly fussy (some might say meticulous) about ensuring that Neuxpower retains a focus on simple, unfussy software that just gets the job done.

Next, we feature Kurt Dupont, who discusses BreakPoint, a new, free add-in for PowerPoint that lets you add countdowns, live clocks, weather information, and more in your slides. We also bring you a review of Synology's new DS920+ NAS device.
