Are you still asking the question: "Is it better to leave my computer on at night, or should I turn it off?"   There are people who advocate both sides of this argument.

Hi,
By now you're back into high gear and are making an effort to get things accomplished before the holidays.  There, I said it, the "H" word.  The holidays will be here before you know it!  This month's newsletter gives you a few things to think about as the year winds down. 
 
Microsoft Critical Patch Released
Microsoft released critical patch on Oct. 23rd to resolve a vulnerability in the server service.  windowsIf you have a network with computers running Microsoft operating systems, you are at risk.  This newly discovered bug makes it possible for a hacker to wreak havoc on the computer without your involvement.  Meaning, you don't have to open a bogus email or go to a questionable website.  Your system is infiltrated without your input and often without your knowledge. The most vulnerable versions of Windows are XP, 2000 and Server 2003. Microsoft considers the bug important enough to issue the patch immediately, rather than waiting for their standard once-a-month release, known as  "Patch Tuesday".
 
We have updated all those affected computers for our Service Plan clients.  If you are not a service plan client, please make arrangements to have this security patch installed on your computers.
 
 
 
The benefits of tracking your Website Statistics
Website statistics are the most important resource you have in determining how well your site is performing.  Site stats indicate whether your investment dollars are paying off as well as they should.  Are you tracking the statistics for your website?  Do you know how many visitors you have to your site?  Or how they are interacting with your site?  Read more about the data you can track and how it can help you get your money's worth from your website.
