Good Office and bad Offices.

We have now been moved from cards to pay for our electricity to a periodic billing from readings. No official notification (of course) and no details of cost per unit or how (and how often) we will be billed. Can't understand why the policy is not to notify. It is almost like this would be an admission of weakness, rather than the opposite where we might begin to respect the owners or at least to understand the problems and reasons for making changes. More later on this I am sure.
On a completely different subject I have moved my email solution from Alentus to Microsoft Office 365. This is the online 'Cloud' version of Microsoft Office that includes an online version of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Onenote - and Outlook of course with ActiveSync to sync to your phone. Storage is now 25GB and at a cost of £4 a month compared to my previous £8 a month for Outlook only and 300Mb. An interesting and easy to use development in Office that is easy to use and set up.
