1181216 2011-02-24 09:27:00 I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are in Canterbury or supporting customers there, Microsoft is providing some free technical support you can tap into . Details here:

I know many others have also put in place support programs . There is also this via John Fergusson at NZTE:


Christchurch earthquake – you can help .

If you have a working laptop you can donate, send it to New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, well packed with the hardware and software specifications listed on outside of box to:

John Ferguson, Sector Manager – Digital Content and Technology, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, Level 11, 23-27 Albert St, Auckland .

We will find a business that can use it .

Please be generous .

If you know of other offers that are relevant to the PressF1 community please add to the thread . . .

My thoughts are with everyone in Canterbury, I can't imagine what it's like to be there . The courage of people I talk to in the region is incredible .
