2008 Intl. Women's Day Greeting

Last year an International Women’s Day greeting was sent to our clients, suppliers, advisers and friends. It was supposed to be that, IWD greeting. After re reading it and contemplating on what to write about this year I realized it can also be a yearend report for
P Cube Services. Now, I thought it’s fitting to coincide what’s up with P Cube and remembering IWD because Feminist Organizations and its collective efforts have paved the way for my generation to take on unconventional career choices.

To start, when you want to upgrade your computer our hardware analysis service is now free by using a software and email. At your office computer analysis is still available. We’ve added services for MAC users. In the future we will be offering remote troubleshooting.

We are now accepting Royal Bank branch to branch payment; transactions are free, this will save you stamp cost. We have established our business hours–Monday-Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM.

As always our focus is excellent service and best price.
We will maintain our rates this year.

Through referrals, we have expanded our client based to include business owned and run by men and professional men.

What I like about Microsoft Office 2007 (A review about OneNote 2007)

OneNote reduced my need of a printer, scanner, fax machine,
and a fax line. It also gave me one place to organize information in various format for an upcoming project.



I can type notes, paste in photos, and create a hyperlink to another note. I can edit a received PDF form - fill and sign the form then email it from OneNote.

What impresses me is how easy it is to do all these things AND its search feature is fast and powerful. I type in a word and OneNote displays the number of hits, gives summary of each page, and highlights the searched word.

OneNote is like a collection of notebooks with the advantage of quick search, dynamic editing, hyperlinks to other projects, and multimedia insertion.

Here is an excerpt from OneNote getting started
“OneNote is a place for gathering, organizing, searching, and sharing notes, clippings, thoughts, reference materials, and other information.”

Here’s a link from Microsoft about OneNote. Demo: What is OneNote?
