Ian Yates' quite literal year in review
Ian Yates product reviews are unique and make ideal holiday reading.
Ian Yates is unique in the IT journalism caper, because he is a real, live, practising system integrator as well as a writer.
His writing also has a uniquely wry tone.
So if you absolutely must do some work-related reading over the holiday break, these reviews will at least make you smile while you work:
