    PPC & Voucher systems Warning & Visitor/Sales Tracking

    Thanks for the welcome, I've been an occasional reader of these forums for a while and never got round to posting before. Google analytics is bound to be a popular one!

    Adding voice and /or video to website

    I agree too, I really hate music, sound & voice on a website unless there is a real justified need for it. At least have it turned off by default then have the option to turn it on. The amount of clients I get that want to have the button's on the website make noises when they move over...

    File Servers - Tower vs Rack

    is this for just use as a fileserver and nothing else? I’m guessing you’re a design company judging by the number of macs? Or am I just jumping to those designer stereotypes! In which case you’ll be moving about large files no doubt, and ideally want to be able to use this server to help...
