IT Support Services
We are able to provide you access to a team of
specialised volunteers that have a passion for
technology and the many benefits it can bring
to your business/home/organisation systems
and communications.
We look at providing complete solutions and
will take the time to fully understand not only
your requirements, but also your organisation,
this is key to providing a solution that fits YOU.
We explain things in simple terms that make it
easy for you to fully understand and we
recommend processes that would suit you and
tell you why. We then make technology work
for you and yours, with as little interruption as
possible.
We work with a variety of partners that do not
have their own specialised IT staff and we can
become an extension of your own group;
effectively it is like having your own IT
department on call, just without the expense
of actually hiring dedicated IT support staff.
To receive free support, do you fit the

We will supply support to any group or
individual but may in some cases make a
nominal charge
This excellent message ABSOLUTELY applies to ALL of us who send e-mails. Read the
text below...then print it out for future use.
Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50% do NOT. Do you
wonder why you get viruses or junk mail?
Do you hate it?
Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people who
got the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses & names. As the
messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds,
and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus, and his or her computer can send
that virus to every e-mail address that has come across his computer. Or, someone
can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes
that you will go to the site and he will make five pence for each hit. That's right, all of
that inconvenience over a couple of pence!
How do you stop it? Well, there are two easy steps:
1) When you forward e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the
body of the message. That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them,
backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second.
You MUST click the "Forward" button first, and then you will have full editing
capabilities against the body and headers of the message.
If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all.
2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or Cc:
columns for adding e-mail addresses. Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) column
for listing the e-mail addresses. This is the way that people you send to only see their
own e-mail address. If you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says To: and
your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's
that easy. When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed
Recipients" in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.
So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail, hackers and the viruses!
Finally, here's an idea! Let's send this to everyone we know.
(But strip my address off first). This is something that SHOULD be forwarded
Safer EMAIL for ALL
Great advice give it a

THROUGH ADVERSITY
We have spend many years using our skills to help and promote places and people we felt needed or deserved support. As
principal of the Catswebcom Project and after 20+ years of mental health issues, including the will to not continue, which
was not admitted till recently. I now feel ready to give more back after spending years not admitting or dwelling on my own
problems. Following my recent “holiday” I believe the help I received at last has placed me in a better place. I and my
project need to spend the rest of our time supporting the community I feel was let down by uncontrollable circumstances.
It’s true what is said it takes years to build up a reputation and a second to lose it. I hope and pray I can again use my
limited skills to help the community, we shall see, at this time the world seems forgetful of the good times and unforgiving
which makes us feel isolated, vulnerable and very lonely.
