I told you so
I hate to ba an I told you so, but it appears that I was right at the start of the year that a platform that would see a rise in attack profile, would be the Mac.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8096822.stm item about the latest threat.
Don't leave it to chance, if you have a mac you are at risk, get some protection on it, and do it today.

Mac Security
Well, for those who have spoken to me in the last 4 months, I keep stating that the mass of macs out there is leading up to an attack in some way. Normally followed by 'we use a mac we are secure'
Well try reading
this blog post Really, Macs are able to be
breached. The time is nigh, honestly soon there will be an attack, or an outbreak that will hit the mac community. The point raised (the reason why Macs haven't been attacked is it just isn't worth it due to market share) in the article above are still valid but only just.

DO Apple Macs ever need repairing
Do Macs ever need repairing? Well with the way Apple patrol Google
Adwords, then no they don't. I can't display an ad which states the truth that We repair Mac's.
As our Blog is on Blogger I suspect Google may withdraw this as well. But come on Apple, we look after many Macs, and have a
speciality of getting them to work on Windows networks.
We are good at this, we are members of the Mac Technology Association. We care for the use of Mac's.
Why can't I use the term???
It maybe a trade mark,
I'm not saying we are mac, or implying anything other than from time to time Mac's may need to be repaired or updated, or maybe just integrated with the windows devices that are around. Let us advertise what we do, and Apple your machines do from time to time need sorting out.

Mac and Linux Support
OK I know it's been a while since I posted last, just been a little busy with business.
We have made a decision recently to add support of Mac's and Linux to our portfolio. We have already gained several new customer who run Mac's.
We have also extended the area we cover, to include Devon, Cornwall, and parts of Somerset. Our next change will be our long awaited move to the Airport Business Centre, along with changes to our websites.

Ofcom - are they affective????
OK I have 2 issues with Ofcom guidance,
The first is in getting PAC's
I want to change my mobile provider (please don't contact us we have a deal all sorted)
However I contact Vodafone on Tursday afters (about 3 PM) to get a PAC (Porting Authorisation code) Friday just past noon, I got phone call from Vodafone wanting to know what they could do to get me to stay. Well you could give me what I have asked for, the change of the 2 handsets, and the new more expensive tarriff. At this point I will let you know that it isn't that they won't let me have the handset I want but the want me to pay £128 for it now, this is down from £300 in January for it.
As mentioned at £128 for 1 handset and the second lower spec at about £30 It old them I wasn't interested, my new provider is giving me these for FREE.
It then took them another day to progress the PAC request. Guidance from the Ofcom website say that the pac should be able to be given within 48 hours of request (it does say this id during working days) However it took them 48 hours from my request to request the code. Apparently I will get a phone call from them tomorrow mornig with the codes (I'm not holding my breath here)
The second case is a MAC for Broadband change. This is for a customer as we resell, and this is our last account to move over to the new supplier. They had a request for a MAC and did not action it until the invoice was raised on this connection. Even though the guidance on this says they can't hold back they are. I will post more on this once it is resolved, but as I am complaining tomorrow to Ofcom I don't want to add to much more here.
