You’re Invited!

On May 30th we’ll be holding a Mobilize Your Workforce seminar. Hardlines will be presenting mobile solutions that will integrate with the email services you already have. We will show you how to increase your productivity and office integration simply by switching your cell phone over to a “smartphone” like a Treo 700wx. Smartphone devices can help you manage your email anywhere, anytime and put your entire address book and calendar into the palm of your hand. Let us put the power of these amazing new devices to work for you! There will also be some great give-aways, iPod Nanos and Shuffles, so don’t miss out. Registration will begin at 11:40am, and the seminar will begin at 12noon. There will be a one hour seminar with lunch provided.

Today is Moving Day

Big news in the Domain Name Registration industry

Earlier this week, ICANN revoked the accreditation for a big name in domain registrations, RegisterFly. This comes amongst many months of scandal and drama at RegisterFly (and parent company, UnifiedNames). If you have any domain names registered at RegisterFly, we must suggest that you immediately take action to move the domains to a different registrar. Hardlines can assist in this process in any way possible, however, it is important to act soon. For more information, please refer to the following sites: RegisterFlies, and StopUnifiedNames, and a story at BusinessWeek.

TAG…We’re There!

This afternoon Hardlines will be presenting at an event jointly organized by Technology Alliance Group and Microsoft. Chris Avis of Microsoft will be there to make a presentation on the new features of Windows Vista, and Office 2007 suite, and it will be followed by a luncheon at Lakeway Inn, in Bellingham WA. Come check out the 42’ Microsoft Across America Truck (see the picture) and play around a bit with the new operating system and software suite. The truck will be located outside Lakeway Inn between 11:30am and 4:30pm. We hope to see you there!

We’re Relocating

Thanks to all of our loyal customers giving us their business and support, we at Hardlines have outgrown our current office space. At the end of March we will be moving into a larger office, which will allow us to work more efficiently and better manage and maintain our servers. The new office is only half a mile or so away from our previous space, so we will still maintain a convenient downtown locale.Be sure to note our new address for any correspondence you may have with us. The move will be in effect April 1st, 2007.
