The column covers new technology developments of interest to home and small business computer users. It features interviews with interesting industry personalities, news and reviews of new computer products, along with colourful commentary.</p> <p>All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Product prices and other data such as Web links are current when researched, but are not updated for subsequent changes. </p> <p><em>Computer Watch</em> runs Mondays in <em>The Toronto Star</em>'s @Biz section.
