It's about the HEADWARE

While there are many many more tools - this resource shares Bernajean's BEST-of-BEST as well as suggesting a consumer framework for thinking about ALL tools serving functions rather than dashing for the "lastest - greatest" appearing in the market. Thus these recommended tools are organized into FUNCTIONS with some tools serving more than one function.
