    Copying saved Wireless Network settings

    Not sure about Windows, but when I had to replace my MacBook, I did a timemachine backup and when I put that onto my new Mac, absolutely everything transferred over. I am sure there must be something like available for windows.

    broadband/credit card terminal help needed

    When I had another business, we had everything on the one phone line which worked fine. We had Telephone, fax, Broadband and streamline. Again, not that it was ever a problem, you could only use one feature at a time ie fax/phone/CC - the broadband was always fine.

    VAT Returns

    Our first VAT return was for £1.5k, presumably as its your first you had to give your bank details, but it took about 4 days for ours to be paid direct to the bank. No checks.

    Questions about setting up as a small events coordinator

    Hi happymamma, Firstly a million % respect for you wanting to do this with a new baby about! Secondly, though I have NO experience in this field, I have an ex client who had a fantastic business doing this sort of thing, unfortunately the business didn't survive, but that wasn't due to lack...

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    Sorry Sysops, I thought I made it clear in my post that I agreed that larger companies who do it regularly can't do what I intend to do....maybe you just lost that bit, you know the bit I agreed with your stance.

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    Well, as I started it I thought I should participate. I agree wholly with Trading Post. I didn't like the minimum P&P charge, so as a consumer, I had the right to go else where, and I did. Obviously some people are getting more wound up by this than I even thought possible, but then I don't...

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    I did think about it from the retailers perspective, thats why I said I would probably get shot down - Alas. And your right, its my choice to only buy something at 69p if I choose, but my point, if there was one in my rant, P&P or Handling fee? The goods I was looking for, easily fit into a...

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    Thanks SYSOPs, I'm over it now :-) But if you read my previous post, you will see the point I was trying to make. ;-)

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    I see the point of standardising things so one price for all. I also see the point of paying someone for the labour. And I am happy to pay for something like that, but being totally out there, it kinda makes me think of the whole bank charge situation, does it really cost £32 to send a letter...

    The ridiculousness of P&P

    I just have to have a rant, and may get shot down by other suppliers. Basically, I am trying to purchase goods online at pennies. Reason I am doing it online, is I know that my local supplier doesn't have what I am looking for. The goods are costing around 35p, and I am happy for them to...

    Is Microsoft office best for Mac.

    I actually can't get the hang of the smartmailbox solution, but agreed the spotlight search function is great, and wonder now how I managed without it.

    Is Microsoft office best for Mac.

    Thats interesting John, All our Macs are setup with IMAP and I found it easier to set up than outlook. I think contacts and calendar integration is a bit 'long winded', but when you can select the number/date/day and use the drop down box to add to iCal or contacts, I thought that was...

    Till, CC Machine, and EPOS System

    I agree with Bovine 100% that whats right for one person, might not be right for the other, I think that applies to everything in life and not just business, you should always have an opened mind on these types of things.
