Hi all, Be on the look out for our congratulatory email for our October newsletter winner - it could be you!
Well they say you should practice what you preach and its exactly this mantra that saved me from losing my entire email data several weeks ago. But, having said that, I still learnt a valuable lesson - here's what happened. Several weeks ago, I applied the Microsoft Office 2004 SP2 and things went totally haywire with Entourage. I know there's many people out there who don't like Entourage and while instances like this certainly have swayed me, I still believe it to be a great all round package that does much more that just manage mail. Well the patch for SP2 was applied, the computer rebooted and Entourage failed to load. I checked that the file size was below 4GB, and then attempted the repair. After several attempts I was in panic mode, and turned to Microsoft support for help. We copied, moved, uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc, only to find on starting up Entourage - nothing. Microsoft suspected that my data file had been corrupt for some time which is why it didn't start up properly - and thats where Microsoft's support ended. But I kept calm (OK maybe I was calmer after an hour) and reverted back to my backup which was a few weeks old, which was certainly better than starting from scratch. I now understand why some of you justifiably stay clear of Entourage. The 2 lessons I learned from this were 1. Always make extra copies of your data before you let someone else have a play, and 2. With mission critical data, you can never be too safe and you should not only back up, but keep different versions as well. Now for something new - Sharp has developed a new LCD (liquid crystal display) panel that is capable of showing different images when viewed from the right or left hand sides. The panels are soon to go into production and will make possible people being able to watch different programs simultaneously, or computer screens capable of giving battling gamers different views of the same game. The screen works by displaying each image in alternating columns of pixels, which also means the resulting picture has a lower resolution. Onto our specials - we've started selling the Harmony remote control from Logitech. These have a RRP of $399, but we have them as an introductory special at $288. These would make a fantastic Xmas gift (yes it is around the corner).
