Yup its a Holiday Weekend.
Try not to forget why we're having a Holiday.
Memorial Day is for All the Fallen Soldiers..
So while your Cooking on the Grill or out with the Family.
Pop a Beer Wine or Soft drink and Toast the to all the Soldiers. Or better yet....
Take a Trip to a Military Cemetery and place flags on the Graves. Or Have a party for the living..
Either way you Celebrate Memorial Day.
Remember they died for a way life.
Thanks

Hey BIG companies Wake up

 YEAH YOU BIG Companies WAKE UP!Over the years We've been dealing with allot of older users. and now there getting in there late 40's.. ALLOT of them Still have money.. Allot of Money to play with..
So keep this in mind you goof's When you write a WEBPAGE at 1000px wide or wider and use the pretty light Grey fonts. The only place that getting hurt is YOU.
Older people with a 22 inch monitor will set there pixels at 1000 x 768 so they can READ it.
They also go right past websites that have light grey fonts unless there forced to use it.
We Recently started working with people that have visual handy caps... Visually Challenged as well.. So they surf with there browsers set to increase the fonts..
Think about trying to read a web-page that has to be scrolled down and sideways...
A CEO don't seem to care as long as its pretty..BUT its all gonna come down to sales.. So if your wondering why your bottom line looks bad start looking at the bottom line where everyone seems to shop lately..
How much are you loosing cause of bad use of pixels and width.. OR quit following the other companies and think about who uses your website.
95% of the insurance industry has forgotten that people want to pay there insurance bills online.. but they use grey and wide settings.. Its just a payment..
Phone/Telco companies are just as bad. AND now the industry is getting so lazy in there code that they feel they can go around WC3 and SEO thinking that Google and Yahoo wont care..
This is for all you OLD FARTS Write to these Webmasters and tell them your tired and your not gonna take it anymore..
After-all you worked hard for what you have and now you have to work harder just to read a little info on some dumb website..
To all of the Visually Challenged.. Ask them why your being driven away. Isn't your money good enough. You want to be able to read what your trying to purchase without an interpreter..
WEBmasters the rules for popular sites use to be 800 x 600 so that ALL users could use the website..Personally at my old age I use my monitor setting at 1400plus BUT I'm getting real tired of pulling out a Magnifier to read the Microsoft license sticker that comes with the software now.
So if you have problems reading a website or need help call the company or email them asking for a fix.. The more the merrier. If your using Firefox and have problems reading this please hold down the "ctrl" button and tap the plus (+) on your keyboard
Thanks....

AT&T going from bad to worse
POSTED by (dannjr) @

AT&T The Phone company to end all companies.
OK so AT&T may not be a real bad company. But we spend allot of time talking to AT&T (The phone Company) and we support several companies that use them for business services... AT&T like allot of companies has had to lay off employee's.. That's opened up the flood gates to AT&T to use 3rd party companies and many of you know this. BUT this is also causing errors on orders for Residential customers and problems for business customers.
Keep in mind its phone service not brain surgery when you call them. ALSO Be prepared to be on the phone ALL DAY LONG to get a simple question answered as to why you don't see something on your bill OR why your being charged more... If your late on your bill e prepared to have your Cell Service cut off if its more then 2 months..
When I say we spend allot of time on the phone with AT&T either for our billing or services.. Its also for other business or other residential customers who are being billed wrong. OR businesses that the bill or Internet service is a mess..
We have a list thats compiled but for the most part its due to.
1. AT&T DNS not working properly.
2. A Change in DSL that caused the account to be disabled or removed
3. Cell service over charged for a service that was supposed to be disabled.
4. Firefox the newest version mot working with the account manager due to a plugin.
5. Account manager not porting to a new number till you call them to find out you have to add it to the account manager and wait till there automatic service calls you with a Identification number to add a line you already have on your bill.
6. Making it impossible for Seniors to get a discount unless they jump threw a hoop and call a third party companuy in Iowa for a $5 discount.
7. No NEW cell phones or new Cell phones with larger numbers and screen so that older people can read what there calling.
AND the list goes on and on..
Again AT&T isnt real bad, we have a much longer list on the lie's Comcast has.
Comcast is the make a Deal and break it as soon as you hang up with them on the phone. The lost connection company.
BUT Again this isnt brain surgery IT's communications made hard..
In the next couple weeks I'll be moving our 3 other DSL connections to Cyberonic.. I make a deal with them and they stick with it.. We've never had a problem with anything from billing to our speed or support.. and they have DSL2

AVG Grisoft recovery CD
POSTED by (dannjr) @

AVG by Grisoft seems to be offering the Recovery CD for FREE.
Originally $149U.S.
I can't knock the product because I haven't used it yet.
It runs on a Linux boot up and will allow you to scan, repair the registry on Windows and supports Fat and NTFS..
In the past and even now we've been using a older version of Linux Knoppix. It's allowed us to boot to the Knoppix Desktop and get to all of the Microsoft area's on a Harddrive. At that point we simply copy the Important files to a USB drive or over the network to a backup...
In a perfect world we would all know exactly where a registry fix is or the file that corrupted a Operating system.
If the AVG CD can fix a Hard drive's OS or find and repair the corruption within an hour great.
If on a Server, After an hour it becomes a time issue and backup's should have been running on a different machine or it starts costing time and money for a business.
AVG's Idea is a great one but could they at least add a Desktop user interface like other versions of Knoppix to make it user friendly for the typical home user. This is were we see it making a lot of sense. Most home users are going to have problems with the recovery CD/USB version of the recovery based on the AVG platform.. Heck most home users will have 99% of there problems using a Linux desktop but at least it will be friendlier then Command line..
The $149 price tag on a linux command line tool is nuts by the way..
Here's why..
Linux Antivirus from AVG is free to start with.
Linux Kernal in itself has been FREE for years.
You can Download full versions of Linux with a Desktop for FREE.
YES We're big proponents of the FREE software and Payed support.. It makes a lot more Sense..
My hats off to AVG they made it FREE but Can you please add to it. It just might make AVG more popular
Thanks
