News Mike is also testing out the new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system - so far it looks a considerable improvment on Vista. Using the LogMeIn service Mike is now able to easily access machines from wherever he is - in addition some clients are now using this facility for accessing their desktop machines from home. If you need to be on the road sometimes then the new broadband modems from 3 and t-mobile are now working very well - using a pay-as-you-go service can also make them very cost-effective. If you are required to produce PDF files then this can be done either using OpenOffice which provides a built-in facility or by installing PDFCreator, a free open-source tool. If you have need of a good contacts system, we are now using Time & Chaos to provide a shared contacts address book, appointments and to do lists. We are very impressed with this program - if you want to know more just talk to Mike.
