I'm delighted to be able to welcome yet another website to the family, this time it's the wonderful Italian restaurant Pavarottis on Union Terrace in Aberdeen.

Michele and company can provide you with an authentic slice of Italian cuisine as well as a damned fine cup of coffee, so be sure to pop by the next time you're in Aberdeen!

Check out their website at http://www.pavarottisaberdeen.co.uk

I'm delighted to be able to welcome yet another website to the group, this time it's Les Houches Studio - an apartment near Chamonix in the French Alps owned by Alison Culshaw.

If you're in the market for such a holiday adventure, be sure to check out the site and get in touch with her!

One of the common problems I see when people call for help with Microsoft Windows based computers is that of "malware" - malicious software.

I'm delighted to welcome NBS (Nigel Bradburn Search) to the Banchory Techies family of websites. This new company will primarily be dealing with the recruitment of exceptional individuals into key roles within the energy sector.

I'm delighted to have the opportunity to work with him on setting up the computing infrastructure behind his new business and wish him all the best for the future. May his email never go down and his website hits always grow.
