    Wicked Web Design: Allow me to introduce myself

    Not like you to shy from the point Rob :-) I think cross browser is becoming one of my ranting points - <rant> can't wait for IE7 to come out - that should really mess things up! MS will be damned for supporting the standards (breaking all the sites coded to IE6/5/4 quirks) or not (further...

    Wicked Web Design: Allow me to introduce myself

    Strange is an understatement in firefox - The flash site is confined to a 300 pixel segment at the top of the page. You have some dud links as well : &bull; rocketkarting.co.uk in the html and I think the same link is dead in the flash version. I like your style though :-) Hope you have...

    Sole trader business structure

    Have you ever heard of Semco or Ricard Semler? He basically destroyed most peoples preconceptions of how to run a succesful business down to the point of allowing all staff to choose their own pay, benefits and job titles. There are a couple of good books to read "The Seven Day weekend" &...

    Microsoft Office Outlook

    I have to say I think outlook 2003 is really very good. I get a bad taste in my mouth saying it but; MS done good when they released it. It is even reasonably secure - but the killer features are the mail management functionality - the only thing that comes close to it is Opera M2 email. If...

    I can only reiterate what others have already said - welcome :-) I like the idea of your product, I just wish there were more information on your site about the actual format it takes! Perhaps some screenshots & maybe even a snippet of a video to give a taste of the quality? We could...

    PROMOTING OUR COMPANY

    If it is a very slick brochure I would... 1, Send a standard mailer followed by calls to see if there is any interest 2, Send USB key with brochure to only those people who are actually interested 3, Follow up and sell sell sell :-) The CD on it's own is just going to be a waste of...

    PROMOTING OUR COMPANY

    To deal with your question - if it is your brochure and you have produced it - you are not breaching any laws by writing it to a CD and distributing it. Most people that go this route use mini CDs which take about 50MB of data. That said - I agree with Eagle and SillyJokes - I can't see...
