19 attendees today including 3 visitors.
Our first speaker today was Lachlan from Core Computers, a guest speaker. His business is a family business based at Albany Creek. They concentrate on sales, service and solutions. They test all products before they sell them. They have monthly specials that come from their suppliers. They are competitive with the larger computer outlets.

Lachlan can assist you with building your own desktop computer, wireless networks and security for your network. They have three technicians who can come out on site. They are able to offer Flexirent as a means of financing your computer needs. Laptops are becoming much cheaper as little as $1600. Thank you Lachlan for an informative presentation.

David Pratt talked about working smart and suggested business owners consider opening a cash management account for surplus funds. These provide higher interest rates and David has clients who in fact reward themselves with their interest by treating themselves to holidays. He also referred us to a website that reviews various consumer finance products go to www.cannex.com.au. This can be a useful tool as well as having some other useful links from the site.
