ILLAWARRA WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS
ILLAWARRA WOMEN IN BUSINESS had their awards last Friday, 26th March. It was a packed house of some hundred and fifty people and there were four awards ranging from the Best Home Based Business to Young Business Woman of the Year.
A great networking event with business cards and literature being handed out by one and all. Some inspirational speakers and a good time was had by all. AB Computer Training were there as first-timers but I've no doubt that it will be an event we will be eagerly following, if not participating in, in future years.

Are Year 9 Laptops Useless?
This story in today's Illawarra Mercury is interesting.
Are the laptops rolled out to Year 9 students in NSW of no real use? Any laptop is obviously better than none, but if it's not possible to install useful software or peripherals on them, then just how much use are they? Access to websites is a tricky thing, of course. Take a site like the photo-hosting site Flickr. As a source of useful pictures for school projects its benefits cannot be denied. But there's also images there that are unsuitable even for your average Year 9 student. How do you allow acces to one but block the other? Or do you just block the site altogether?
It's a tricky problem. What do you think?
