    How often do you backup your hard drive?

    I backup all my data to tape every night and I use Veritas Backup Exec 9, but that's maybe overkill for your needs. Norton Ghost is a fairly good cloning package, and it's cheap.

    Bulk Email Marketing

    Hi Multilingual. Like everyone else who has a business website, I have contact details (info@ brochure@ and customerservice@) on it but I wouldn't consider any of them to be an invitation for people to try to sell me anything. Since the brochure is an automated reply service, I must send my...

    Bulk Email Marketing

    Not so sure about that logic. Sorry. :wink: You wouldn't phone a company's enquiry telephone line to try and sell a product - enquiry lines are for people to make enquiries (hence the name) about the company's products, and are generally staffed by sales people, not management types or...

    Recording telephone calls

    Hi there, I'm not sure what the exact legal position is of recording calls unless you inform the other person that you are doing so. I assume you intend to inform people that you are recording the calls. Anyway, there is a program called 'modem spy' that claims to do what you are looking...

    e-mail access

    Hi again Bonnie, I'd like to draw your attention to the following article which was published in 2001. http://www.guardian.co.uk/freespeech/article/0,2763,418935,00.html The relevent bit is this: 'In July the Regulation and Investigatory Powers Act was passed. It said employers...

    e-mail access

    Hi Bonnie, I'm not a legal eagle by any means, but sometimes I get asked to transfer mailboxes from old users to new ones due to staff turnover for lots of different reasons. If the email address is a company address (ie [email protected]), I'd have no issues with you accessing any...

    Web developers

    Hi Richard, I like the site, it looks good. I'm afraid that I'm not qualified to evaluate the quality of your SEO because I'm a hardware/software engineer, not a web design expert. I'm not a web developer but I enjoy using Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash etc because it gives me the chance...

    Web developers

    I know what you mean about SOME 'web developers,' it's a real mine field out there. But there are also some really brilliant web developers who produce fantastic websites at a reasonable price. The biggest problem I find is that quite often the person who you have to deal with isn't actually...

    Hand delivered flyers - covered by mail preference service?

    Thanks Jayne, I didn't really see there being a problem with the flyers, but I just wasn't sure. Asking the local newsagent to put the flyers in the papers is an excellent idea, thanks. I go there pretty much daily (being a filthy smoker :oops: ) so I know the guys who work there...

    Hand delivered flyers - covered by mail preference service?

    Hi people, Just recently I've been doing some repairs for some of my neighbours' computers and although I've never touched the residential market, it seems that it might be a nice little earner to do some home repairs in the evening/weekend because there are a lot of people out there who seem...

    Customer has done a runner!!!

    Hi thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Wow, I wasn't expecting any replies so soon - there must be a lot of on the ball people here. I'll consider all the replies and think about what to do next. I'm not going to name him just yet - although if I don't get anywhere with him over the...

    Customer has done a runner!!!

    Hello, I've been subcontacting some work from an IT consultant (I'm a support engineer by trade) and he seems to have done a runner on me. I've been doing projects for the guy off and on for about 4 years and billing him monthly for any projects we do. Last month's cheque was stopped (by...
