Testimonials

"I found First Contact very helpful and truthful when i purchased my hardware and software and have recommended him to many of my clients".

Howard Casofsky- Affinity Associates

 

"The First Contact team have been a great asset to us and have helped us out on numerous occasions both at times of absolute IT crisis, and also for more planned work. IT is always ok when it works, but a nightmare when something goes wrong. First Contact are experts at making sure when that does happen it is as painless as possible. Excellent response + knowledge, Excellent work, Great help every time! They have also helped with migration to new technologies, and database development work that my business depends on daily. One stop shop for IT needs, that is second to none, and I can heartily reccomend to anyone".

Dan Glickman MD - Moneytree Associates

 

"We have no hesitation in recommending First Contact – a refreshing change from the excuses, disillusionment and inflated bills we previously experienced".

reading this email it means that you are either one of our

event or someone loves you enough to send you our particular
brand of ranting/useful information.

For those of you who don't know me

Another
way to stretch the pound is to keep your machines running
well.  You could extend the life of your
PC/laptop/server by upgrading the ram.  This will help
with both system stability and running speed and could stave
off having to upgrade the entire machine for up to 2 years. 
For further advice and to find out if your machine could be
upgraded call now for a free consultation.
 

Everyone is looking at cost savings at the moment, here is
one for the domestic market.  If your broadband at home
is not as business critical as at the office why not take
advantage of one of the bundle deals offered by providers
for example SKY offer broadband from FREE for the full
contract if you are an existing sky customer.

you even get a free wireless router.

If you are looking at different
packages, why not give us a call & we will advise you who to
avoid and who are offering good deals.
 

 

 Useful Tips
 

Each issue of the contact sheet will include some useful
tips that will hopefully help you with problems or just help
you do some common tasks more easily.

Are you tired of
having problems opening documents from friends or colleagues who
have moved over to Microsoft office 2007.  Not to worry,
you can simply download a free patch from Microsoft allowing you
to automatically be able to open these files.  Just follow
this link to download it

Another thing
we've found useful this month is Google Chrome (Beta). 
This is Google's answer to Internet Explorer, we've
found it to be more stable & faster at browsing, with
most of the same functionality, this simple to use
browser offers to import all your favourites from IE as
well.  You can download it at
