Its funny how the same old names keep coming up.....on a call today there was a sign maker discussing a sign with my client. He asked me what else I did (apart from setting up networks) and said he had just been to PCWorld paying £400 for reloading 5 computers.
Our price would be £125.
Guess who`s setting his new network up? (not PCWorld)

Sickmantec Products
Once again our old friends at Symantec have excelled themselves, not only do they produce the system gumming -up security suite, but then they go and sell it at 3 times the price it should be.
One of my clients (who happens to be 86, but thats just another reason to hate them) was coerced into renewing her version of IS2008 by Norton sales people, and eventually paid by card (it said auto-renewal on the invoice, so beware) the ubelievable amount of £78 for ONE years subscription !!!!!!! (isnt it 29.99 in PC World?)
It was an older PC with only 256MB memory, and she could not believe it when she saw her system running with a decent antivirus, positively zooming along.
