Welcome back everyone,
we hope you have had a great refreshing break and that you are ready for a new and exciting year. There are lots of things going on this year in the Authority but also in the wider world of technology. Just when you thought you were really cool with the 16Gb iPhone they bring along the 32Gb iPhone, The pace of hot minibooks is relentless with manufacturers trying their hardest to command the market. But really if we step back and look at it philosophically, it doesn't really matter that we are not the first to use the latest technology it is that we are using the technology effectively that really matters.
