Essential Maintenance

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Due to recent problems with the computer system there will be essential maintenance being preformed between 21/09/2009 and 28/09/2009. During this time there will be no production services available. This includes CAD, Office documents, Web Site design, Graphic design etc.

As the main hard drive failed a few weeks ago it also seems as though something else is also hindering the performance of the computer system. This makes for the ideal opportunity to replace the whole motherboard, processor, cooling system, RAM, hard disc drives, optical drive, graphics card and operating system. This is a very large project due to the number of files held on the system which require backing up and restoring and the programs and applications used. It also opens a window of opportunity to upgrade the current Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit operating system to either Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit or Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit operating system. The transition between is pretty much guarenteed to be as far from smooth as possible.

Please accept apologies if this causes any inconvenience. Normal service should resume on 28/09/2009 however, please allow 5 working days extra for any new works up until 05/10/2009 as there will be a backlog to get through due to the service down time.

Thank you for your understanding.
