    Digital product sellers, are you aware of this?

    If anyone uses Sage, they gave us this link which they claim should help with the changes. http://www.sage.co.uk/asksage/viewarticle.asp?p_faqid=32644&DIV=SBD

    Windows 8.1 has Start button

    Unfortunetly, I have a feeling that the start button will simply lead back to the Metro touch screen interface and not the well loved Start Menu.

    Mac Photoshop power users

    Do you have anything like a constant backup running on the server which backs up files as soon as they change? My sister in law is graphics designer and uses Live Drive. When its running, it locks files while it backs them up and only unlocks when its complete. She has to disable Live Drive...

    Recommend a Laser Printer

    I used to have a HP Laserjet 1020. It was very small for a laser printer so doesnt take up too much space. I needed a colour printer and fax so I gave the laserjet to my brother-in-law. Here is the latest version of the 1020...

    Surprised! No Self Assessment for Company Directors

    Agreed. If I have to complete any that i've received. However, I should be able to deregister for future returns. Second call to HMRC didn't help. Got the same answer. They have to follow a set script and arent allowed to think for themselves. Going to put it in writing now that more people...

    New online business needs help

    There are many services that handle data on behalf of companies. For example Salesforce host all the data online. Most of the time, the hosted data is kept in such a way that its safer than the company having the data in-house. It could be kept on RAID5 arrays to prevent loss of data. Many small...

    LogMeIn Free capped at 10 PCs

    I've always thought about Teamviewer and yes, its great. But if I was going to spend the money, I'd want it branded. Also, can you see a list of PCs like you can with Logmein?

    LogMeIn Free capped at 10 PCs

    Its a sad day for IT Consultants everywhere! Just received an email saying that Logmein Free will be capped at 10 PCs. If you want more than 10, you need to pay £117/year for LogMeIn Central. Does anyone have anything better than Logmein? Nothing VNC based. I've found VNC to be quite slow...

    Estate agency software

    I'm sure thats optional. I'm not in the property business so I have no idea what they charge or how they operate. However CFP is the only one I've ever seen in place and we have quite a few estate agents on our service.
