Dealing with email is always a problem. It is just so easy to send and receive messages nowadays and this creates vast amounts of information. What do you do with this? Well the short answer is archive archive archive.
Your webmail has a 1GB filesize limit but your POP3 email box doesn’t. POP3 is also designed for downloading email and not really to keep email on the server. It is ALWAYS best to use an email client with a POP3 setup. This allows you to keep your server clean of emails and make sure you have backups. Please make sure that you back-up your email client config and messages.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last fews, you've probably heard mention of Linux, the open source alternative to Windows.
So what is Linux really, what can you use it for, and why would you want to?
Linux is a free Unix clone written by Linus Torvalds, who began the project in 1991 while still a student in his native Finland. Today it is the most popular Unix-style operating system on the market, and manages to tie together a grass-roots developer movement with support from big businesses like IBM and HP.

If you run a small business you might be surprised how expensive proprietary software can be. Software to do even the most menial of daily tasks like writing letters, sharing calendars and tasks and many more. Google has lead again in addressing this issue. Google Apps has a great collection of software, web based, that allows you to have a near full office suit with collaboration at your finger tips. Businesses, schools and organizations can now get powerful communication, productivity, collaboration and security tools right from the browser, leaving more time and money to focus on core objectives.
We believe this to be a great addition and help to small businesses in the Inverclyde and Greenock Area. |

Best described by the text on their frontpage:
"Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open-source community.
One of our most important activities is as a standards body, maintaining the Open Source Definition for the good of the community. The Open Source Initiative Approved License trademark and program creates a nexus of trust around which developers, users, corporations and governments can organize open-source cooperation." - www.opensource.org |
