<div>Some one once rang me and asked "we have a message on screen that says - ask the system administrator - who is that?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I answered - its you!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So many small NZ businesses have no IT dept, can be a major problem! Unless someone wants to charge out for it - and such things are often too time consuming.<br> </div>
