Quitter. Matt

Hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone can recommend any free or costly MP3 catalogueing software Thanks Matt

Hello Everyone, I realise as it is heading towards the summer that a lot of people will be getting rid of workstations. As i do some volunteer work, one of the charities i work for needs 10 workstations capable of running windows 98 or 2000 or at best XP they need to be small form factor type workstations as they are going on a floor next to a gym. If anyone has anything they will be getting rid of please let me know asap. I know there is some talk of the responsiblity of the equipment once it has left your establishment and i am happy to sign any agreement that i take responsibility for it or for the less anal of you, just give me the kit and i will not mention where it came from (as long as there is no obvious asset marking). Thanks matt

IJT? Are they the company that like to send you catalogues/faxes/emails/snailmail/faxes/emails/catalogues. I told them i would never ever ever use their company again thanks to their aggressive marketing and still they tried to get me to get a quote from them. Idiots Matt

Anyone know any decent companies midlands based that will take an old printer/copier that we need to get rid of? Thanks Mat

It's 5% more than we'll get if they buy it from PC World. Plus the much lower price tag means more families are likely to buy the latest version, saving all the fun we have when kids bring stuff in in MS Works format, or the Easylink problems which can exist with pre-2000 versions of Office. i assume you have office 2007 rolled out then as pre versions dont read .docx so you spend time telling them to same as .doc dfficult for some staff/students to remember matt

Do they have permissions with the shares? Have you tried running the batch script once they are logged on?

Agreed with the above post, jobs askign for Exchange specialists don't always mean you need a qualification in it. I am very much like you in that i know a lot of different things and not really a master of anything but the difference is that i will not let that put me off applying for a job. I generally don't lie but i have learnt that it pays to be a bit more confident in interviews. I went for an IT Specialist role and told them i was a good all rounder which i considered an IT Specialist to be. What they atually wanted me to say was i was particuarly good at networking or administering exchange etc. Which of course is part of what i meant but ot the right answer. My advice would be to apply for jobs that you may not think you will get but just be confident, a willingness to learn is better then saying i cant do this or that. If you know the answer to the question will be negative (i.e. you know you havn't worked with SQL etc) then turn it on its head and say i havn't really done much of that but i had never created a login script before and now my login script is the dogs. Matt

So i pay 120 quid a year and i am not allowed to record the tv? Something is wrong with that. Matt

Don't forget the ever userful msexchange.org i think thats it. Matt

Well at least they got some music in their exciting governors meeting, they should be thanking you. Matt

Don't get me started on female only Gyms! My point is if you want to be equal be equal, don't praise the fact that through equality and over the top PCness you are now getting added bonuses like the above.

I agree in a sense more then anything i think why try and push ayone down any path, why not just inform people and let them make the choice. Surely thats upto the careers advisors in schools etc? If i'm a career advisor and i see someone keen and interested in computers no matter what age, race, sex, then i would recommend IT. Whats right with it? Who cares what particular group of people are underrepresented? Oh yeah the people that decide i need 3 more women in my company to fullfil my quota. Is it right that i am more likely to get an interview to be a fireman in my city if i am within a particular ethnic minority? Oh yeah thats right i think they call it positive discrimination. Which to my mind is still discrimination but at least its only discriminating the well represented so thats ok. If it was parity i wouldnt have a problem its when its an advantage that i have a problem? (i am sure that statement will bug the hell out of you) My grandad is asian and i have seriously considered putting british asian on application forms to see if i am more likely to be selected for interviews after all who would question my ethnicity in an interview? Matt

What ike the sexist pictures and remarks? Haha Matt

Mine did that last night. Hmmm how annoying. I assumed it was a power cut or something Matt
