    Accounts software

    Does anyone know if there is there a free basic accounts program available? I've recently taken over as treasurer for the PTA at my daughters school after no one doing it for a year so the accounts are rather a mess! Thought maybe some accounts software would make it easier than excel!

    Recommend me a computer

    Time has come for me to buy a new computer, the laptop is hanging on by the skin of its teeth and I though a proper desktop computer would be much more robust for the kids to use, at least they can't drop one on the floor! I don't have a lot of money to spend on one at the moment but looking...

    Hosting Question

    Can anyone recommend a good but cheap hosting company? Also is it best to have a website hosted in the UK if I want to be found easily in the UK or does it not matter?
