As a business owner, I have laughingly wondered aloud to colleagues and associates whether a computer tech is more important than a CPA for small businesses. If I really had to, I could do my own taxes (and did in the early years thanks to TurboTax ). But if my computer crashes and I can't bring it back up with the restore disk that came with it, I'm in big trouble and so is my business.

Fortunately, I have a very good tech team on board. And I make sure they know on a regular basis how much they are appreciated because in my business, if the computer goes down, productivity often follows.

cnet.com has posted its Top 10 downloads from the past ten years.

Launched in June 1995, Cnet.com was one of the first sites I found while learning to use the internet. It's still my top resource for downloads, product reviews and price comparisons.

My stepson is a senior in college so it's no surprise he's a computer wiz but even he loves cnet.com and refers people to the site on a regular basis. Here's the best part, though: I taught him to use Cnet.com! Ah, it's great when we can teach our children "cool" stuff, isn't it?
