I purchased two things last year that have improved my world considerably.

The second thing was the delightful Apple iPhone. As you probably know, it is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. For anybody who runs websites for a living it is a must-have. I’ve been sleeping more soundly since I bought it...
However, as with most things, there is scope for improvement.
