Youve covered, Adobe, MSN, Video cards, Google.
The youve got the likes of remaining IE Toolbars, printer drivers, MS Office, and then there are the ones that install things in startup that you dont know are there. Oh and the ones that keep wanting to change your default homepage, search engine etc.. Total PITA

Fixed the stuck caliper. It was the bottom piston so it was easy peasy to punch it out by using a long drift through the flexi line hole. Replaced one badly pitted piston, polished the bores and reassembled. works good now.

That looks tidy. The only thing i would do would be to curve the corners so they dont stick out as far, or is it the angle of the camera?

Thanks :wink:

I am planing on 'shaping' the corners to better follow the contours of the car. I only really wanted to get the 'fit' and clearances etc around the winch sorted first.

More pics to follow when it's sorted,

Today i started planning an upgrade to either Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010. For 5000 users the software alone is expensive never mind the cost of the hardware to run it on!

We host our main domain main.gov.uk, we also host two other email address domains, thiscompany.co.uk and thatcompany.co.uk.
So, if they are hosted on the same servers/GAL/AD I need a cert?

We have a wildcard cert for Activesync to push emails to mobile devices, via ISA server.

Even certs for internal access to OWA?

TBH, it will be Exchange 2010 with OCS/UMS and a huge bill that the man with the cheque book. Hes not aware of how much its going to cost him. Ive not looked at training costs yet, or replacing the EMail Archiving solution!

The previous version does work ok. We need to move the storage off the SAN as its EOL July.
Also the support for Ex2k3 is over or almost over and for once we are moving with times and doing something new!

...finished putting the headlining in my VW Type 3. Quite chuffed so far, hopefully it's tight enough and it won't unpeel, fingers crossed!
