If you were out of work suddenly at 40, you lived the rest of your life on the dole.&nbsp Shipbuilding was dead, mining almost so, heavy manufacturing machines worn out, the unions sick unto death.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Scott was a product of his place and time, believing temporarily in Thatcherism as Britain had to change. &nbspWithout a chance of academic education he worked and scammed through a series of dreadful heavy industry and pub jobs, relieving his deep, unacknowledged depression by constantly getting pissed and up the skirts of the trim, female pubbers and clubbers on the prowl.</span><br> <span></span><br> <span>At the ripe age of 24, Scott found himself married to a New Zealander and the couple migrated to Wellington. &nbspSuddenly Scott's shrewd abilities found a place through computer training and Polytech, then, with a fancifully elaborated CV, he got into the public service, the Commerce Commission and later the Defence Department, even assisting communications in East Timor.</span><br> <span></span><br><span>But the ghosts of his past, family alienation and marital troubles, returned to haunt him. &nbspWriting this book, a searingly honest self-surgical operation, and looking after his son, has brought a measure of healing.</span><br> <span></span><br><span>Scott sets down with a caustic wit the virtues of the North East, its loyalties among his friends, and its deprivations. &nbspHis most fervent attachment to a lost love, Kerry, killed in a motor accident, evokes his capacity for a depth of feeling and pain which obviously lies beneath the surface Don Juanism, the alcoholic immolation.</span><br> <span></span><br> <span>Scott leaves his story with an unanswered question as to where to next for himself and his young son. &nbspThe Disillusioned could well be a study text for &nbspanyone close to the addiction and other problems of those whom Gordon McLauchlan calls the Misfit Generation. &nbspIt is not for the easily shockable reader. &nbspOthers will acknowledge it as a fine, honest piece of work.</span><br> <br> <span style=font-weight: bold>Fraser Books, Masterton, paperback</span><br style=font-weight: bold><span style=font-weight: bold>312 pages. $34.99</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br><br><img title=Review of The Disillusioned book by David W Scott style=width: 536px height: 281px alt=Review of The Disillusioned book by David W Scott src=../media/image005.jpg vspace=5 hspace=5><br> <span style=font-weight: bold>Transcript: Southland Times Ltd (NZ) 18 December 2004</span><br> <span style=font-weight: bold>Story of our times lived in the tough life of an immigrant man. <br> </span>Reviewed by Helen Blasland</font><p style=text-align: justify><span><font size=-1 color=#000000 face=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif,sans-serif>The Disillusioned, a story of our times, traces the life of David Scott from his 1970 birth near Newcastle, England until today living with his son in Island Bay, in Wellington.<br> </font></span><font size=-1 color=#000000 face=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif,sans-serif><br><span>Modern research reveals that a tough upbringing for boys is likely to create failures at work and in family relationships at home.

The current worst case example is a user running the leading antivirus product, 18 months after his subscription had ended who had over 100 individual viruses infecting his machine, corrupting his data, slowing his computer, and hijacking his internet connection and email system. <br><br>We also sometimes see organisations that have corporate editions of anti-virus products installed on their main servers, but a haphazard implementation on user's desktops. At ITEX we can identify shortcomings in your organisation's security architecture and compare this with the requirements of any existing Service Level Agreements you may have with your companies current service provider, this information can then be used to ensure your service provider is meeting it's obligations - saving you money and reducing your IT risks.<br><br><h2>Spyware - a new breed of threat</h2>At ITEX we have seen time and time again, customers computers or servers which are performing poorly, and much slower than they used to be when they were new. Often we have been asked by these customers if they need to buy new, faster, more expensive equipment. In 95% of the cases, the answer is<strong> </strong>a resounding <strong>NO !</strong><br>Unsuspecting Internet user's Internet browsing habits are often tracked, hidden applications often installed on top of innocent looking 'helper' applications and seemingly innocuous clicks of the mouse - or even the computer's operating system itself can leave open a backdoor to your system and data. A worst case example was a customer's Pentium 3 computer with 256MB RAM that ran so slowly he was thinking of giving it away and buying another. This computer was brought back to life&nbspafter an ITEX&nbspwarrant of fitness and tune-up, we cleared off over a dozen spyware applications (including some that the best anti-spyware utilities could not clear off). Sometimes the available anti-spyware products cannot clear the system entirely, and will require manual steps to rid the machine of the threat. &nbsp<br><br>This particular customer was using a well known, respected Anti-Virus product, which unfortunately was out of date because the annual subscription fee was too expensive, the customer was also using one of the better known Anti-Spyware products!<br><h2>The ITEX answer!</h2>We do not believe that expensive software is the best solution, we firmly believe in utilising the best open-source and freeware solutions that do not require ongoing financial commitments to get the latest protections. Protection of the data on your computer should not be an added premium, but a right.<br><br>We utilise a multitude of tools, found and tested over many yearsexperience, to clean up, tweak and protect your IT investments. In addition to software tools, often we need to draw upon our ITEX staff's 10+ years experiences in the private, state sector and military IT industries to solve some issues that software alone cannot assist. We actively research and test the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware products, for their cost, effectiveness, ease of use as well as the often overlooked factor of exactly how much of your machine's resources will be taken up by running the solution. We believe that the prevention and cure should&nbspbe less troublesome than the disease! Various upcoming developments in the anti-virus industry will soon change the landscape again.&nbsp Let ITEX do the hard work in comparing products and bringing you the best current solution for your requirements.<br><br>After clearing existing spyware and viruses, tuning up your machines and closing known operating system vulnerabilities, we will leave you with a free suite of applications to better protect you in future, including anti-virus, anti-spyware and automatic system maintenance regimes.<br><br>The difference between ITEX and other computer services companies is that we do not aim to make any profit on software or hardware solutions, our IT expertise is our service, your satisfaction and referrals are our bread and butter.

Consider these statistics: <br><ul><li>70 percent of all 15-17 year-olds who have ever gone online have accidentally stumbled across pornography online, 23 percent very or somewhat often. (Kaiser Family Foundation study, 2001)</li><li>One in five children ages 10-17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet. (The Web's Dark Secret Newsweek, 19 March, 2001)</li> <li>43 percent of children said they do not have rules about Internet use in their homes. (Time/CNN Poll, 2000) </li><li>17 percent of parents believe their children are posting online profiles, as compared to 45 percent of children who report doing this. (Internet Safety for Kids Protocol Analysis Institute) </li></ul><br>New trends of 'Social networking' sites, such as Bebo and MySpace etc, can also pose a danger. Again, children are by their nature, lacking in a certain level of cynicism and do not readily understand the potential consequences of posting suggestive photos or personal details online.

This is the approach that the ITEX website operates on, and demonstrates the viability of this low cost solution.<br><br>ITEX also offer website search engine optimisation and submission to ensure that your website has the best possible chance of generating visitors (and sales!)<br>With this approach, you can test the waters with very little financial outlay, and decide with some financial confidence on your next online steps. <br><br>For an example of a website designed with this methodology see <a href=http://www.pareaarau.co.nz target=_blank>www.pareaarau.co.nz</a><br><br><h2>Websites Enabling Team Collaboration</h2>A common request of ITEX business customers is to set up an internal intranet to facilitate a central repository of information for staff. At ITEX we believe in providing much more than an internal information repository, we seek to find the lowest cost solutions enabling not only a shared Intranet information repository, but also an internal collaboration suite to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, ideas and projects - with the ability to subscribe to areas of interest and for your team members to be notified immediately when new material is available.&nbsp <br><br>Other consultant firms often recommend systems developed by themselves, which are proprietory, expensive to purchase and are costly to support. We pride ourselves on being able to rapidly provide affordable solutions to businesses to improve information flow and sharing, document management, web based training, collaboration by using the best commercialoff-the-shelf systems and low cost or free open source solutions for your requirements. <br><br>We do not believe in creating costly, highly profitable re-inventions of the wheel like a lot of the computer support organisations in the Yellow Pages, many of which are geared up specifically to make custom solutions that are inflexible and make you dependant on their proprietary expertise. Our focus is, and always will be, facilitating yourself and your own users to effectively and securely manage your home or business IT systems and share and collaborate on information that is vital to the success of your business. <br><br>The law of diminishing returns has shown us time and time again with 10+ years experiences in the private, state sector and military IT industries that organisations that aim for an immediate 'gold plated' solution are being unrealistic, company resources are better spent aiming for workable solutions that can be built upon easily, often using your own in-house staff. <br><br>We aim to deliver the best possible value for money and lowest possible total cost of ownership, extending the useful lifespan of your existing systems, and unlike other organisations, we will be the first to tell you where your money can be better spent.

However there are some inherent risks if implementing wifi systems without the experience and skills to protect your information and systems. <br><br>Probably the biggest threat to the security of your wireless systems and data is the incorrect configuration of your equipment and operating system. Out of the box MSWindows and wireless routers and network cards are not always setup in the most secure fashion. ITEX audits of hundreds of wireless networks and drive-by scans using our scanning tools have shown almost 50% of home and business wireless networks to be open to misuse and attack. In addition, if you are sharing your broadband Internet connection in yourbusiness or home, your staff or family could be exposed to inappropriate material such as porn or online chat sites that are inherently risky. If your wifi network is not secured, users can freelyconnect to your network without your knowledge, access information on your computers and freeload off your own Internet connection to access the web and download anything they want.&nbspThe other major threat to your data, whether it be personal data or business information, is your system's users - who either through malicious intent, intense curiosity or lack of guidelines and configuration, to put your information and systems at severe risk. <br><h2>The ITEX Solution</h2>In addition to the multitude of tools, found and tested over many years experience, to clean up, tweak and protect your IT investments we draw upon our ITEX staff's 10+ years experiences in the private, state sector and military IT industries to solve some issues that software alone cannot assist. We can help to draw up security plans of action, configure hardware, audit user permissions, security policies and training.&nbsp<br><br>At ITEX we can identify shortcomings in your organisation's security and technology architecture and for business customers compare this with the requirements of any existingService Level Agreements you may have with your companies current service provider, this information can then be used to ensure your service provider is meeting it's obligations - saving you money and reducing your IT risks.<br><br>A quick audit will identify if your own wireless network and equipment is open to abuse, and ITEX can lock it down, with no loss of functionality to your legitimate users and family.<br><br><span style=font-weight: bold color: red>NEW</span><b> Hotspot Services</b><br>One of the easiest ways for your business to increase customer loyalty and generate additional sales is to offer convenient internet access. For example, cafe's and hotel lobbies that advertise Wireless Internet Access, increase their sales of snacks and coffee - your customers can relax in your premises to do a little work away from the office or just catch up on emails with their laptop. Anyone visiting many of the Starbucks outlets around town will have noticed two or three laptop users at any given time sitting in a comfortable seat sipping their Grande Lattes and nibbling cookies while being engrossed in front of their computer screens. Once a computer user realises that a premises offers internet access they come back time and time again as a place to work AND shop! <br><br>Normally the only barriers to a small business wanting to set up their own wireless hotspot service is the cost of equipment (which can cost well over a thousand dollars) or the lack of in-house expertise to setup and manage the system. ITEX have worked hard to find a low cost and easy to setup solution, which is ideal for smaller businesses and those in suburban areas - (only $179 for the equipment and installation - there are no monthly charges or term contract) - which is cheaper than any of our competitors and it pays for itself via a 50-50 profit share scheme with ongoing support from ITEX. See below.<br><br><b>ITEX Hotspot solutions</b><br>A lot of businesses have already got high speed internet access wired to their premises (or can get it for around $50 per month in NZ via Telecom or TelstraClear etc), we offer a pre-configured wireless router such as the one shown above, which we simply plug it in to piggy-back onto your existing (or new) connection. Immediately your customers can start paying to use the internet while relaxing with a coffee. Laptop customers can 'see' your wireless hotspot, connect to it and begin web browsing - after paying for access (for example 1 hour for $5) using their credit card or online Paypal payment option - <em> Note: there is also an option to make your hotspot complementary for customers if you prefer, for example '15 minutes free with every coffee purchased'</em>. <br><br>There is nothing else you or your staff need to do! No new skills to learn and no separate point of sale equipment required! At the end of the calendar month, a report is generated by ITEX which shows the revenue generated from your internet customers, and your 50 - 50 split is paid directly into the account of your choosing, typically this will be to your own Paypal account (for convenience) or can be a NZ bank account if required.<br><br>Using the example above it would only take about 25 x 1hour internet users in a month to have paid for your existing internet connection that you normally pay for anyway! Taking a look in Starbucks will show you that many more internet users than that can be expected, which generates an internet customer profit AND driving more sales of your existing products and services.<br><br>In addition to retail premises the same solution can also benefit individuals living in high density residential areas, for example where one resident can make a profit from sharing their internet access with other residents within the wireless network range - typically 30 - 50 metres depending on your building.<br><br><b>One more benefit</b> - the wireless hotspot service can operate 24 hours a day, potentially generating an income well after the retail premises is closed for the day.<br><br>Contact <a href=mailto:itex.enquiry@gmail.com?Subject=ITEX Hotspot Enquiry>ITEX</a> today for further details with no obligation.");
