Be
First to Get the Latest Updates
I haven't
been nagging (I mean politely reminding) you to keep your software
up-to-date lately, however that doesn't mean that you can be lax about
it.
I then realized I have been selling this update thing all wrong – After
all, keeping software up-to-date sounds boring… like housework or that
homework project you keep putting off… So here is the new pitch:
Always wanted to have the latest & greatest? Be leading edge
with the most recent updates from Microsoft, Adobe, Java and more… All
your friends will be green with envy and the best part is there is
no-money down and no payments.

Offer! – Our Operators are Standing by 24 Hours a Day.

Note that the application of updates on business computers (especially
Servers and the like) is a more complex matter. In this
situation update changes need to be balanced between threat
environments and potential software interaction conflicts. It is not
unheard of for a software update to cause existing applications to have
adverse reactions or stop working altogether. You should consult with
us prior to updating your software in business environments.
If the process sounds a bit intimidating, FITS provides update services
designed to suit your needs. Contact us for a no-cost assessment

Destroy
Your Drive Content
Before
you cart that old computer, laptop or piece of computer
eqipment off to the recycling depot, you'll want to ensure that there
is no personal data contained on the hard-drive. The
last thing you want is for banking, SIN, passwords or other
sensitive information to end up in the wrong hands.
Did you know that certain printers also may have a hard-drive
containing sensitive data. Ensure your hard-drives are properly
disposed of or 'wiped'.
FITS can issue you with a Certificate of Destruction for your
hard-drives (which will be shredded) or properly wipe hard-drives that
you want to retain. (Note: deleting your data from a hard-drive is not
a sufficient means of data destruction.)

Search
Savvy
Computer
technology moves so quickly it causes even tech-savvy individuals to
stumble across functions they didn’t realize were available or possible.
Take computer web browsers for instance (E.g. Internet Explorer,
Firefox Chrome, and Safari) which are the
software programs that let you browse the internet for your
enjoyment... or frustration (depending on the day). Most of
us use browsers and search engines on a daily basis and yet few of us
realize their potential or use all but a fraction of their features.
I’ve assembled here a few “I didn’t know that” moments from recent
experience with family, friends and clients to see if you know (or care
to know) about some of these helpful items:

what you may not know about your browser in the full article located here.

Reading With Eyes Closed - Text to
Speech
If you have
problems reading text on a computer screen; would like to give your
eyes a break, but still take in that web article… or maybe you are
obsessed with multi-tasking in order to get the most out of your day -
you may appreciate the Text-to-Speech applications available for your
computer.
Let me introduce you to your new reading buddy - Text-to-Speech
software (such as NaturalReader or DSpeech) can convert any written
text such as Webpages, documents, PDF files, and Emails into spoken
words.
Now, you can move away from your computer screen, put your feet up and
relax, stretch, exercise, or complete other tasks, while you still
remain focused on that document.
See what you can do with
this program in the full article located here.
