Welcome

If you are
reading this email it means that you are either one of our
clients already, someone we have met at a recent networking
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
personally I am Jeremy Ross. Our approach is to try to keep things as simple as possible and
empower our clients to be able to have the confidence to try new
technologies without fear.

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. http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/skyproducts/broadband 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 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en

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 http://www.google.com/chrome
