School's in and fall is just around the corner...
September marks many ends—and more than a few beginnings: the end of summer, the beginning of fall and a new school year; the end of long vacation days, the beginning of study and homework.

September's e-Flash also has some practical special offers and informative tips and tutorials that will help make work and home life easier for those of us for whom long, lazy summer vacations are but a dim and fading memory.
