General Bits and Bobs.
WOW, we've been so busy it is almost 2 months since I managed to post.
Lots have been happening here. We are in the process of migrating from one on-line backup provider to another. This would give you 10
Gb of online storage for just £10 + VAT per month.
We have also installed our first hosted PBX, this is an addition to our range of Voice over
IP (
VoIP) or telephones over the Internet (Which i think for most people is a better term). This gives a full PBX functionality with out the upfront cost of the hardware to host the Phone System on.
On the Home user front we have seen another rise in the Hoax Security Software infection. If you get a pop up that is not your Anti-Virus telling you it has detected this many errors, don't click on the offer to clean it up, or purchase the product. Speak to someone, who knows.
Laptop repairs are still going strong, particularly screen replacements, we aren't the cheapest around, but all work is carried out in Plymouth, and we come and pick up your laptop and drop it back to you. This saves you tie and effort, and well worth the small amount extra we charge for the work.
Well Spring has Sprung, and the election is upon us, I am sat here now enjoying the warmth of the sun streaming through the office windows.
I'm off to drive around Plymouth all morning. Will post again shortly, and well before the 2 month period.

1st post of the year
Well, our first post of the year. It has been a slow start with the weather. but it has left us with some time to tie up lose ends on some new products, which we will be releasing over the next month or so.
One thing that has been in demand is for people to work remotely. A number of our customers had this in place, the problem for them was in the main it wasn't designed to work for the entire work force.
Now is the time to start to think about this and perhaps even a little bit deeper into
full disaster recovery. If you are a
Small business, do you use Microsoft Small Business server? if so why not use the Remote Web Workplace?
A short 60 second presentation is
Available from MicrosoftAlso available is a short presentation about sharing a conference call and presentation using
Microsoft Office Live MeetingBoth
utilise technology that helps with travel budgets, or ease of access if we get snowed in again.
New this month is our Disaster Recovery Solution, a very cost effective method of providing Disaster Recovery for small
businesses details are
available from our website For a small cost you can purchase seats in bundles of 6 or 12. Contact us for details.
We are starting to have discussions with a lot of our clients about how we can best improve
their use of technology to help improve their business. Still carrying out IT Audits, and
discussions with possible new clients, if you want to know more then drop me an email
martin@limbtec.comLAPTOPSHowever you dress them up, they really
don't like drinks being spilt into them, and they don't like being stood on or having things thrown at them. Basically treat them like they will break, as they will if you do any of the following.
BTWell our
BT issues keep on going on and on and on. It now appears that the shiny copper cable going from here
to the street cabinet, may not be a shiny, or
indeed contain much copper anymore.
You would have thought the
simplest solution would be to
rerun fresh copper from end to end, but apparently patching every couple of weeks or so with bits of cable is far better.
Come on
BT get your act together and get this 11 month (actually 11 months and 1 day) issue resolved.
I am intending to post this
blog every Friday PM, but this is subject to change!
Thanks for reading and more next week.
