FITS &
Starts Reader,
Are
You Being Served?
Here is a quick quiz
for our small
business operators,
can you presently:
- View co-workers
calendars to see
schedules and book
appointments?
- Use Software to
assign tasks to
others and track
their progress?
- Can staff work
from outside the
office if they
wanted or needed to?
- Is your business
data secure (and not
travelling around on
laptops, mobile
devices and USB
sticks that can be
lost or stolen?)
- Can you print to
devices anywhere in
you office - even
from home?
- If your computer
died now - did you
loose any data,
email, contacts,
appointments..?
- Can you check your
email or calendar
from any Internet
connected computer?
- Does your current
backup system
capture all your
necessary business
files?
If any of these
items were of
interest or concern
to you, we should
discuss a business
Server solution for
your office... I'll
bring the coffee if
you'd like... no
charge, no
commitment and I
don't bite... well,
not after I've had a
morning coffee
anyway :) .

What we can do is
review what you are
doing now and advise
you on some computer
based solutions to
enhance your
business through
available,
affordable
technologies.
...and if you like
what a Server will
do for you wait
until you hear what
a Virtual Server can
do.

Servers for your
Business here.)

There
is a
Hole
In
Your
Bullet-proof Vest
There
seems
to
be a
bit
of a
misconception
out
there
that
having
an
anti-virus
program
on
your
computer
is
all
you
need
to
keep
you
safe
and
sound
on
the
Internet.
Let
me
dispel that
myth -
Anti-Virus
programs
(and
the
like)
are
not
bullet-proof,
fool-proof
or
super-heroes
who
will
always
save
you
from
a
perilous
predicament.
(Keep
in
mind
even
Superman
was
vulnerable
to
Kryptonite.)
I'm
not
suggesting
you
go
without
one,
they
do
act
a a
good
basic
defence
on
your
computer
and
often
can
be
obtained at
no
cost so
it
would
be
rather
foolish
not
to
have an
anti-virus/spyware/malware
program running
on
your
computer...
Read
more
on
the
limitations
of
anti-virus
programs
here.
Feel
free
to
contact me
if
you
encounter
something
suspicious
on
your
computer.

News to You? -
Delete Doesn't
Delete
You may be surprised
to learn that
hitting that
"Delete" button on
your computer
doesn't really
delete the file from
your computer. As a
matter of fact, even
after you clear your
recycle bin the file
still exists
(clearing the
recycle bin
essentially removes
the index to the
file - which makes
it harder to recover
but not impossible.)
Keep
this fact in mind
when you are
disposing of your
old computer
equipment. All
your potentially
sensitive
information may
still be on the
hard-drive. So
if you have ever
entered information
like banking,
medical, passwords
or maybe just a
"Dear Diary" that
you'd rather
not have fall into
the wrong hands -
Contact us for
advice on how to
properly dispose of
this information.

Upcoming Benefit
Performance OC 27
There is an
excellent
performance called
THE MIDDLE PLACE on
Wednesday October
27th at 7:30 PM at
Theatre Passe
Muraille (19
Ryerson Ave.) to
benefit Youth
Without Shelter.
This is Project
Humanity's
documentary theatre
piece that emerged
from encounters with
youth at the shelter
that has been
honoured with two
SummerWorks Festival
Jury Prizes. - Don't
miss this
enlightening experience.
"The
Middle Place is an
eye-opening,
intelligent and
funny piece of
verbatim theatre
that shines a light
on Toronto's
problems with truth
in a way that other
recent plays have
failed to with
fiction.”
“…it's refreshing to
hear these voices of
real homeless people
onstage.”
