VeryPC

Morning @ictgoodpractice! I'm going to get one of our sales champions to drop you a PM as we've got some fantastic options on Tier 1 devices and despite the Coronavirus outbreak, we still have access to plenty of stock. I can think of a few devices that will be perfect for what you need! Keep an eye on your inbox! - Ryan

I've watched both The Stranger and Safe, yep! Loved them both. I believe he's got a deal with Netflix to produce a lot more drama's so fingers crossed they are as good! Over the weekend I finished another book by Harlan, 'Stay Close' - definitely one of my favourites! - Ryan

Don't know if any of you saw yesterday but This Morning did a KFC inspired recipe and it looked finger lickin' good! And i'm sure plenty of the VeryPC team will be giving this a try today as it's treat Friday and we're missing KFC getting delivered at lunch time.

Currently reading a whole load of Harlan Coben's books! Just finished 'Missing You' and I'm 1/4 of the way through 'Stay Close'. Anyone else a fan of his? - Ryan

Hey @genesis We've got some fantastic pricing on Tier 1 laptops, all with a VeryPC twist. This includes our famous custom branding options (which always go down a treat with teachers!). And despite the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, we've still got access to plenty of stock too! I'll get one of our sales champions to drop you a PM! - Ryan

Thanks for attending @robyholmes Keep an eye on your inbox - we'll be in touch! And as soon as it's safe for us to do so, we'll pop a pair of socks in the post for you too!

We'll be recording the webinar so we can send you a link afterwards if you'd like! Because we're awesome, when we're back in the office you can have some socks too. It's Monday and we're feeling happy and motivated for the week ahead!

Morning EduGeeks! Just a reminder that our webinar is happening today at 11am and we'd love to see you there! And who can resist a free pair of socks?!

Hey EduGeeks, How are you all coping with the lock down? Everyone at VeryPC hopes you are keeping safe and well! The majority of us are working from home and it's quite nice wearing slippers all day...do you think I could get away with wearing them when we're back in the office?! I just wanted to make you aware of a brand new and exciting web page that we've launched over on the VeryPC website, which you can find right here. It's all about our partnership with 3CX, a leading provider in VoIP systems. We've been using in-house 3CX in-house for over 12 years and even though we're working from home, we're all still connected to our extensions. We're all set up remotely on our laptops and on our phones too. When you give our awesome sales or technical team a call, that's how you're speaking to us! So my question to you is...are you struggling with your phone system? Is it outdated and not fit for purpose? Especially during these difficult times. Let me know below and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments about our new web page and any questions you may have.

Not even on your daily permitted exercise?!

We know how to treat you!

Hey EduGeeks, We're bumping this thread back up because we wanted to let you know that if you missed our webinar last time, or want a refresh of what we can offer and how we can help against phishing attacks then you're in luck! We're holding another one this coming Monday (27th April) at 11.00am. All the sign up details are below and yep, before you ask, when we're back working in the VeryPC office we'll pop you a pair of socks in the post too! But which colour will you receive? We'll leave you guessing!

What a fantastic thing to do and thank you for supporting the NHS! We'll get the eggs sent out ASAP!

Al is doing good! I spoke to him the other day and he's hoping to be back with you EduGeeks soon! Although when we spoke I can confirm he didn't shout "Bring me the box!" (I was very disappointed)

Oh 100%! Although, that said, I haven't heard from @JordanT91 at all. I hope he's not in too much shock...

If I could go back into the office to count them for you I would, but unfortunately team Marketing is working remotely due to Government restrictions. So we're not able to film a video! You'll just have to take our word for it

Well EduGeekers, that's the competition closed I'm afraid! So if you didn't get chance to enter then we're pretty sure a new competition will be hatching soon for you all... Back to this one though and there can only be one winner. We are eggstatic to announce that the total number of eggs was 191 and although nobody correctly guessed that number, the closest person was... @JordanT91 - with a guess of 189 congratulations!! We've sent you a PM!

Entries close at midday today, if you haven't entered yet then you better get cracking!

Good Morning EduGeeks, Entries close at midday tomorrow, so if you've not entered yet be sure to get those entries in, you'll be clucking mad to miss out (sorry!)

Got to be honest, that cracked me up.

Your wish is our command, please see the first post. The list will be updated each morning

She may have got a little peckish while constructing the EGGcellent tower!

Keep your guesses coming, EduGeekers! Your puns have been cracking so far.

Just the one guess!

Hey there EduGeeks, In recognition of the fact that EduGeeks are the best humans on planet Earth, we’re running an exclusive competition, just for you guys, right here in this thread. We, alongside the rest of the country, really appreciate those of you who are still in school, helping staff and students with remote working and of course looking after the children of key workers – so we wanted to say thank you! In honour of the annual diabetes-fest that is the Great British Easter, we sent the VeryPC bunny out to collect up a mountain of chocolate eggs, and it pains me to say that we will not be snarfing them all up but *grits teeth* actually giving them away to one lucky entrant! A single blessed winner will be sent this entire pile of type-2 choco-grenades, at which point we abdicate all responsibility for what happens next (but gently suggest it involves at least a little bit of sharing with the staff and students who are still around!). All you have to do is leave a comment below stating your best guess at the total number of individual chocolate eggs in the pile pictured above. Seems easy, but to confound the quantity surveyors out there, Nicole “scrambled” our conglomeration of confection, randomly discarding some packaging and scattering the loose eggs about the place, both in and out of view, before taking the photo. I will give you a clue to help narrow down your estimates though – the answer is an integer on the real number line (I know I’m too soft). Entries close at midday on Tuesday 7th April, and we’ll announce the winner that very afternoon. Don’t worry, before you start panicking, we’ll get the bunny to hop them over to you before Easter Sunday, so keep an eye out for a giant rabbit your postie. Apologies to our international friends, but we’ll only be shipping the prize domestically, so unless you have a UK address to receive goods, you won’t be able to win. Now, if you do feel like dropping an egg-cellent pun along with your estimate, please do indulge that urge (sorry @witch). I mean, “egg” is the word puns were invented for, right? You won’t get any more entries, but it will earn you some zero exchange rate props-bucks for your effort. So, get those guesses in folks, and good luck! << Entries so far >> DJ-1701 – 232 DalekSec – 185 qwerty94 – 212 StevieM – 215 Zoom7000 – 217 admars – 260 mrbios – 300 hardtailstar – 275 witch – 220 River – 197 tj2419 – 215 LeMarchand – 180 smurfomatic – 226 Ditto – 241 FishCustard – 256 robyholmes – 223 Imgtfy – 244 fiza – 210 rad – 209 TriggerHappyUK – 219 TechMonkey – 245 elsiegee40 – 208
