		<description><![CDATA[While out at a client site yesterday, I had a discussion with them about a simple idea, that many IT companies seem to miss sometimes. It&#8217;s the principle of &#8216;diminishing returns&#8217;. Now for the MBA types out there, this is likely something you&#8217;re already well aware of. However for us computer support types it&#8217;s something [...]]]></description>

Global economic woes don&#8217;t help the stress levels of your average entrepreneur, which tend to be high enough as it is. We always look for an advantage. Financial, marketing, sales, whatever the subject, small business owners can stress over it.

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of companies, especially the small to mid-sized firms, don&#8217;t see the value in having dedicated tech support. To many, IT is a cost centre with no measurable ROI. Instead, they have someone on the inside who has &#8220;a pretty good feel&#8221; for computer issues. This is the person who does the setups, handles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I&#8217;m really excited about with Windows 7 is the native support for touch screens. Especially given that so-called &#8220;all-in-one&#8221; PC&#8217;s are starting to come out into the mainstream as well.

Previously, touch screen support was limited to a [...]]]></description>

Yes, I mean recession. Whether or not there is a recession is something for accountants and other financial types to decide, not me. I&#8217;m just a [...]]]></description>

So let&#8217;s get straight to it, shall we?
Commodity computing is the idea that computers are just another commodity, to be used as needed. Got new staff? Go buy a cheap computer. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an idea that&#8217;s generated a lot of interest in the past year or so, and I can understand why.
