One of our clients is a optometrist and as part of their practice keeps thousands of images of their clients retinas. Their retina imaging device outputs each image at 2.5MB and as their business continues to grow they needed to find a way to manage the massive size of their images folder.

Most of us, when sending an email message, take advantage of the time it takes for the progress bar to tell us that our email has been sent to actually proof-read our the message.

Of course when we see that glaring typo, there is nothing we can do about it. At best you MIGHT be able to rip out your network cable in time (laptop users operating wireless can try smashing their device instead).

If you use Gmail, you can activate one of their "Lab" features, "Undo Send". With this enabled, you can have up to a 30 second window between hitting SEND and being able to UNDO SEND before Gmail will actually send the email.

It is kind of like Microsoft Outlook's message recall feature, if that feature actually worked.

Read on to see how we solved it.

Like many businesses, you may have engaged your I.T. consultant or web-designer to register a domain name for you.

Have you ever had a close look at your domain name's registration details?

In many cases we have found that the domain name has been registered with the consultant's details as the owner instead of the true business owner!

MYOB keeps moving! Just when you think you know where you left it, MYOB gets up and moves - which can cause a big problem with the backup of your data.
