I’m no MS fanboy but although it has its problems, if you have to use Exchange, Outlook is actually a reasonably good email client.
I don’t think you need to worry about them coming for your raspberry pi… for now. But if they do offer a way of managing any OS platform from one “easy” to use management portal then you know management will go for it. Think of the savings!
Exactly, instead of pissing money on a rebrand, just offer good value, then people will come. £x million spent on a rebrand won’t give them long term customers once they realise that better value is to be had elsewhere. I’ve never picked anything based on how cool their advertising/branding is. I want value for money!
It was specifically Blackadder that taught me that when we do it, it’s ok!
Captain Darling:
So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.
General Melchett:
Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war!
Captain Darling:
And fortunately, one of our spies...
General Melchett:
Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!
Me! Although it’s admittedly on an old MacBook Pro. It’s no longer supported by Apple and my wife has her new MacBook Pro to work with. I stuck Windows* on it and thanks to the driver package from Boot Camp it works a treat. Performs better than my old HP laptop and would run rings round a cheap £400 entry from PC World. It’s got a good few years of life left in it and it’s been saved from an unnecessary trip to the dump.
*I know I could have put a Linux distro on there easily too.
Really? You can turn the tv on by clapping? Ok, even if something is sitting about listening for a clap, turning the plug on on any TV I’ve ever had simply puts it on standby. It doesn’t actually turn the TV on and even if it did what a useless feature as you’d need that pesky remote control to actually pick a channel. Clapping to dim the lights, fire up a bit Barry White and light the fire on the other hand...
Why would that be embarrassing? Generally stock is "beeped" through, or scanned, not only calculate the total but as part of stock control as well. I can honestly say that if I worked in a shop and had to serve you I'd be fairly unmoved by your amazing maths skills.
It might also be worthwhile remembering that the next time you tell your excellent teller story that nobody cares, everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Oh and that it's not excellent.
