It only took a year and I have to bring politics into this Blog. I heard that ABC has banned their TV people from wearing patriotic clothes and pins. I checked the web and sure as heck I can not find anything denying it.
So .... ABC which owns ESPN and has ownership with Disney is now afraid to be patriotic. This makes me sick that people are not proud of the greatest country in the world. I received a Flag lapel pin at a meeting today and will where it proud every chance I get.
ABC - You have lost a customer .... --- Hey Management move to Canada ...

Buying on Amazon
Buying on Amazon ... Well, you know those pools that have a inflatable ring yet hold 3,000 gallons of water. Well they come with a pump, that if it goes bad you need to hit the web to replace. The only place we found one is on the web and we purchased one from one of it's vendors, CMS WorldWide Sales.
The order was placed and only then did I notice it was a $75 shipping charge .... almost as much as the pump.
I tried to cancel immediately and received a email 30 minutes later that said they could not cancel it because it was already processed and heading my way. They are either the fastest shipper known to man, or another example of a company that never wants me to buy from them again. I think it was the latter.

Linked-In
Being in technology, I have long searched for a personal network tool that would help me network with professionals and friends. if you have not tried it, and it is free --NICE --, try http://www.linkedin.com
This program creates a tool that lets you link in with professionals you currently work with and those that you are looking for. Have been using it for a few months and it is now time to spread the word!!

Virus Crazy -- Thank god for Superantispyware
In the last few days we have been working with various customers on Virus Issues. The Bug Trojan.net-qgx/nmc has been dropping little gems on the PC's and Trend Micro 14 (From Dell) Just ignores them ... Have been using Superantispyware and will put a link on our server as it was able to at least let me know it is there ...
Superantispyware is free with a pro version that is not that much ... I got it for $20.

Cutting Costs - Sending and Paying Invoices
March Madness is upon us and we have been working with our vendors to cut costs and stay lean and mean. One of our expenses that we have been working to remove is postage for sending out invoices and the cost of you sending us the invoice back.
We have been working with Pay Pal, Local Banks and Quickbooks and to my surprise Quickbooks stepped up to the plate and have provided us those features. Their fees were the cheapest in the area and cut our costs for receiving payments by credit card or debit card.
If you own quickbooks it is a very simple add-on to set things up. When we go to print the invoice, we instead send it via email. Then Quickbooks adds a link to pay online if the customer wishes.
We are always looking for ways to save money and look forward to future technology advances to share with our customers.
