For years John Jervelund wrote tech tips for our Brantford Starter Customer base. They were sent out with the monthly statements and include tips, tricks, rants, raves and other information. The tips are still revelvant today so we decided to post them here. The rants and raves make for good reading too.
The Tech Tips were all saved in a format that is no longer supported. So they all had to be formatted from on progam to another and then another. We apologize for any errors that we missed. Also please bare in mind some of these are also over 10 years old, so the information maybe outdated at this point.
Our customers found them to be super useful, and we hope you do as well.
