Re: [OT] New laptop

2016-04-05 Thread Tejas Goradia 
Just wondering, is it worth spending so much money on local computing?

I wonder how many people are now using Amazon or Azure as an option vs
buying best in the breed local computing power.

Is 8gb, i5 environment not enough?

 You guys don't see the sheer insane volume of spam that mailman eats
 before getting to these lists. Sometimes it is several times the actual
 mail volume.

 I live in perpetual fear of the day spambots have gmail accounts and
 actually sign up to lists properly. 


 This is a new one though.

Apologies for Invitation to connect on LinkedIn post to this usergroup

Good Morning Folks,

Please pardon my email stating Invitation to connect on LinkedIn.

I installed the andriod app on my phone and committed the sin of clicking
next - next in the crowded train. It wasn't my intent to spam your inbox.

I hope you are able to empathize and pardon this oversight.

Have a great day,

Re: [OT] Purchasing Office Visio

2013-07-28 Thread Tejas Goradia 
H
​ello James,

Just wondering if you've looked up any deals on sites such as Ozbargain.
You might be able to pick up MS Office Pro Plus 2013 for as low as $30.

http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/91344


If you do any number crunching using excel via Pivot tables then do
consider Excel 2013. Microsoft is really working hard to add a lot of
analytical add-in's such as PowerPivot, Power View, Data Explorer and Geo
Flow for free.

Kind Regards,
Tejas Goradia.

  Hi folks,

 Sorry for the off topic post, but I need to get three licences for Office
 2010 Professional  two licences for Visio 2010 Standard. I've looked on
 www.mwave.com.au and they have them for $235  $419.67 respectively. I'm
 not sure if this is right, but Visio by itself is more expensive than Word,
 Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook.

 ** **

 Is that right???

 Can anyone suggest where I might go to get better pricing for either or
 both of these? (I'm purchasing for a regular retail business so Action Pack
 doesn't apply.)

 Cheers.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the info. Would you suggest building a desktop instead? I'm happy
to invest in a laptop but these days no amount of RAM is good enough.

Tejas.

  I'm not sure if any laptops exist that have the option of having Win

 Here's a reasonable Acer laptop for $1,050 (after cash back from Acer) that
 will meet your specs once you add another 4GB of RAM (comes with 1x 4GB but
 can be upgraded to 2x 4GB) and install your OS of choice. I've bought a
 couple of things from MWave before and had no problems with them (I have no
 affiliation with them).

 There are faster processors but this is pretty good (the entry-level Sandy
 Bridge mobile CPU with 4 cores and hyper threading):
