Goodbye e107

After over 5 years of using e107 I’m saying goodbye. It’s been a long and not always pleasant ride but the last year or so has been full of good reasons not to continue using or supporting e107. From a user point of view it has a nice administration area but has been left behind [...]

Brand new laptop full of crap!

Just got back from Pcworld with a new Windows based laptop (I know but Sage Accounts only works on Windows and I’m fed up of not being able to have my Mac on at the same time!) It’s an okay machine, ugly as sin but most PC laptops are, one major gripe is the amount [...]
