Hey everyone,

Welcome to the late Feb edition of our monthly newsletter. This month has brought much happiness to world of Calido with the safe arrival of our latest Calido member Adison - born 2/2/05 and weighing in at 7 lbs 3.

Take a look at the new ADSL broadband plans starting from an ALL NEW LOW of $19.95 - at this price you have ADSL broadband at dialup pricing...

Apologies in advance for the short newsletter, I'll try to catch up next month ;)

Best regards,

Adam Ransley


Creating stronger passwords
More and more aspects of our lives are being controlled by passwords - each requiring a different set of rules such as 4 numbers, or 6 alpha numeric characters. Have you succumbed to the 1234, or ABC123 pitfall ?

Microsoft have an excellent article on creating stronger passwords and the risks of using weaker ones.

Announcing the Comet demo
Due to popular demand, Calido has started developing a demonstration version of our popular manufacturing software Comet.

The demonstration version will be available for download from our website and will allow upgrade to the single user version (also new).

Stay tuned for the upcoming release...
