We are still looking for sponsors for our soon to be released web portal hangout - if you would like to advertise to an Australian audience, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thats about it for me until next month - I hope you enjoy this months articles... Yours sincerely,

Calido Pty. Ltd. ACN: 108 232 935 ABN: 38 108 232 935 Postal Address: PO Box 3003 Bracken Ridge, QLD 4017 Registered Business Address: 23 Bungowla Street Bracken Ridge, QLD 4017 Contact Details: ph: 07 3261 7888 fx: 07 3261 7877 mb: 0413 880 702 New Banking Details: Supplied on request. This controlled growth places Calido in a better position to market our products and services and emphasises our dedication to our industry. Quite often sole traders are overlooked by their "fly by night" nature - to us, this growth is our emphasis we are here for the duration.
With respect to New Orders, construction material products, transport equipment and the textiles sectors all weakened, whilst food and beverages, paper, printing, publishing, clothing and footwear all performed better than the previous month. Overall, there is a strong domestic demand which continues to support our local manufacturers, although the housing and motor vehicle industries have weakened slightly. This information was summarised using the Performance of Manufacturing Index (as reported by the Australian Industry Group) which is a seasonally adjusted index based on production, new orders, deliveries, inventories and employment with varying weights.
Since then, SCO has promised to file suit against larger corporations who are using this illegal code allowing applications that previously required SCO Unix, to run freely on Linux. In lodging against 2 randomly selected companies, this promise has finally come to fruition. Apparently all SCO are trying to accomplish is to prevent certain "core" parts of their unique code from entering into the freely available Linux operating system. It is expected this process will take many years of appeals and suits because the technical merit upon which the cases are based have never been tried before. Will this mean a follow on of other suits against distributors of Linux, or is it merely a scare tactic? I guess we will never know.
I cannot stress the importance of shopping around, and knowing exactly what you are getting, and how much it will cost if you go outside of the providers allowances. For bigpond customers on the $29.95 per month plan, you only receive 200 Mb free before being slogged with a 15 cent per MB usage charge. This is where Telstra make the money. Most home users would not go above 400 Mb per month if they are just sending emails and doing a bit of surfing (but the extra 200 Mb is going to cost you an extra $30) but if you are going to download MP3's, listen to the radio, or watch movie previews, you will easily go beyond this amount. Of particular interest with Telstra is they count both uploads and downloads as your usage (which is double dipping because the owner of the site you are visiting is paying for the downloads as well). In summary a mere 400 Mb of transfers per month with Telstra will cost you $59.95 - for which you can a get much better deal (on data allowances) with other providers. If you are looking to upgrade to ADSL, I recommend you look into www.iinet.com.au and www.westnet.com.au - they have some good plans.
