So confusing, I have a VAX 4000 (vacuum) in the garage.
Different VAX, but still makes me laugh.
Talking about vacuums mention the computers.
Talk about computers mention the Vacuums.
And even some same model numbers.
And I live near a hotbed of vacuum manufacturers (OK two).
I hate Excel it just breaks data by default.
Customer gets an EDI file does a small mod to a piece of text then saves.
Item codes with leading zeros, gone, long barcode numbers changed completely.
Importing prices for customer 016, does a tidy in Excel, now customer 16.
I use CSVED and Notepad++ as Excel will make me swear.
Finally NEVER open a DBF with it and save, it will not save in that format but completely change it.
I remember the telling off of the custoomer who did it and the trawls through backups.
Does almost as such damage as crypto worms.
I have great difficulties with some north east accents, went as far as once getting someone to write it down.
Another difficulty is mispronoucing vowls.
Seen one TV person every vowl was o as in got, so plont.
Some NI every vowl is i
My accent consists of replacing missing Rs on ends of some words.
If your customers used to only be in one of the 31 countries of the EEA + Switzerland (as is the case for about 150,000 UK businesses) then trading with all your customers outside of the UK will become a lot more challenging. A chunk of them might consider giving up on selling to people outside the UK altogether.
Or move your business to the Republic of Ireland and give up selling to the UK.
And yes if I was in that situation I would, Ireland is a lovely place. East coast has some nice beaches and is just in TV aerial range of the UK for the BBC.
Well this is horrid.
Getting used at work and I have found the following problems
Audio calls
1) Cannot use like a phone, ear keeps pressing things.
2) Answer button often tries to hide when you want to use it.
3) IP Phone and real phone still ring.
And very difficult to muliple use eg see text on PC and sound via phone.
i HATE it!
