Bargain chaps. 25UKP(+ vat) to hear a Microsoft salesman speak.
Holy crap, do they have Obj 1 funding? Can our lug get some sort of
grant I wonder.
What a wonderful world we live in. Maybe someone can stand outside and
hand out copies of Knoppix ?
I think I would actually do it if I was back home. :)

********************************************************
I would like to invite you to the 'Business Growth, Innovation and
E-commerce' event on 12th November at the Alverton Manor, Truro or on
13th November at St Mellion Golf and Country Club, Saltash.
90 minutes is all it will take...
for you to know whether you are doing enough (or more importantly what
else you could do) to:- increase sales, improve profitability, create
new markets, out compete your competitors, enter new markets, preserve
the loyalty of your best customers.... through your use of IT and the
internet.
Through case studies of successful companies, demonstrations of new
products and explanations of the latest technologies, we will equip you
with the essential knowledge (and contacts) to help you succeed.
Major IT companies - like Microsoft and Hewlett Packard - will present
and demonstrate, along with independent IT consultants, how your
business can benefit from current technology.
The programme is modular - so you only need to attend the part of the
day that is relevant to you (or your colleague). But then again, as will
be a buffet lunch and opportunities to network, you may prefer to stay
all day.
The event is partly funded by UK online for business and only costs £25
+ VAT (including the lunch) for the day but places are limited so please
respond as soon as you can - by phone 0845 600 99 66; or e-mail.
I hope we have the pleasure of meeting you soon.
Best regards,
