Everything doubles in the UK in about six months. My energy bill is now well over 1500 quid a year. Good job I just got a new contract with a substantial pay rise :-)

I saw noise in the tech news that some suppliers might be having issues due to the natural disasters over there. And some suppliers prolly will. But other suppliers also exist. These kind of things are hard to predict. But it's also Dell's end-of-quarter right now. Like most companies that gauge quarterly sales, Dell will flat out lie to make a sell at EoQ. So you can't trust them on this. On the third hand, Dell is very big on just-in-time supply chain and manufacturing, so minor fluctuations in their supply chain can have a big impact. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
