I was called to visit a small business in Chichester this week, the owners laptop wasn’t booting because the operating system was corrupt and although he had the original setup CD he was unable to repair it. One of the first questions I asked was “do you backup your computer and your important files?”, unfortunately the answer was no.

Luckily I was able to mount the hard drive, transfer the files he needed to my laptop, run a fresh install and then move the files back. Some of the data included accounting files, customer contact lists, design files and a lot of other important documents.

When I asked him later why he never backed up, he replied with the same kind of answers I hear a lot. The most common reasons I hear when visiting customers include:

• I never had the time to set it up.
• I didn’t know how to set it up.
• I thought it would be too expensive, etc.

When I asked him how important those files were he realised that he might possibly be out of business without them!

Hard drives have moving parts, they tend to break now and again, laptops are stolen, operating systems corrupted, important files accidentally deleted you get the idea… We often tell our customers “there are only two types of hard drive, those that have failed and those that will fail!”

Gadget Review: Blackberry Bold vs iPhone 3GS. Blackberry or iPhone? That is the question I hear every day from any person looking to obtain one of the cool gadgets. Well my friends, this review will most certainly shed some light on both phones, and hopefully you will be able to draw some conclusions at the end.

As you know from my previous post: Gadget Review: iPhone 3GS, I am quite the happy iPhone owner. I do not own a Blackberry Bold, but a lot of my friends are in possession of the competitive Research In Motion (RIM) gadget. I have played around with it several times, and I believe I have established a fairly good “rapport” with the Blackberry.

The Blackberry Bold has a very sleek design, unlike its predecessors. I fancied the look of the gadget very much. The QWERTY keyboard was always easy to use, as the buttons are very well designed for data entry on this neat gadget. Now, one of the bigger features on the Blackberry Bold is the screen. The gadget features a half VGA resolution 480 x 320 pixel color display. The quality of the picture is extremely crisp, and I would be very satisfied to watch the latest episode of Two and a Half Men. The email on the Bold is superb. I do not think there is any real competition for that particular aspect of the Blackberry, as it is the main feature that RIM strives to improve on with every new gadget release. And of course there is the Blackberry Messenger. Loved by many and desired by others. This Blackberry service is free, and it features on every Blackberry released. This cool digital gadget reduces your bill greatly on text messaging. Now of course, this is only available to Blackberry phones, hence making it such a unique feature for the RIM device.

Breathe in, breathe out. Focus on controlling your breathing pattern. Practice deep and slow breath cycles. As you exhale, release all the tension and negative energy away from your body. Feel your muscles as they relax. Work your way through the entire body, focusing on one muscle group at a given time. Breathing helps enhance mind-body awareness and focuses your energy on your relaxation techniques.

Enroll in a yoga class. The controlled postures and slow movements done in yoga improves muscle flexibility, strength, balance, range of motion and promotes clarity, mental focus and calmness. Stretching can also reduce tension, anxiety and mental stress. Get out of your desk, find a floor space and work it like you’re on a track team. The muscles are interconnected so that more you stretch, the more it relaxes.
