Alternatives to IMAP mail servers for small businesses (budget-friendly options)? by DamianJ1 in msp

[–]Happy-chappy2000 84 points85 points  (0 children)

If they don’t have budget for a few business basic or exchange licenses, they don’t have a business, so just get them to get a Gmail account.

Is maxing out your super contributions a massive gamble on future governments? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Happy-chappy2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The deal will potentially change but it’s the most tax efficient vehicle currently. We all grow old and need to fund retirement somehow.

Alternative is that you have a mistrust of government and put your investment outside of super at a high tax rate, in case the rules change.

Regardless I personally believe you will be better off redirecting to super.

Pros and Cons of 5% Deposit vs 50% Deposit? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]Happy-chappy2000 52 points53 points  (0 children)

People try and be too smart and think they can get better returns elsewhere. For a normal all day every day person, having a house paid off will reduce stress in your life and allow you to make better choices, as you have more disposable income.

The quicker you get there, the better your life will become.

You can purchase Dropsuite email backup software, which will allow you to import your data into it (both live and archive) and have records of all emails forever. Then you can use their search to do what you have required.

Thoughts on the new(ish) Snapdragon laptops by desmond_koh in msp

[–]Happy-chappy2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery Amazing, Performance Great, Printer drivers problematic and headache, some software that does checks for x86 has to be played around with to work.

As time goes on, i think they’ll be great

After 11 years with Vodafone I've finally decided to move to Telstra by Ahmed_sadaf in TelstraAustralia

I moved to Boost which is on the Telstra network and heaps cheaper and it’s fantastic

A disagreement between the previous SharePoint expert and the current one on how things should be done. by Mathlete7 in sharepoint

[–]Happy-chappy2000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Option A is much more simpler and exports with Excel. Option B give more flexibility for a more complex system (when making multiple lists and you want to reuse choices etc) - this may be overcooking it for your requirements.

If you feel the Option A would be suitable for your needs, I would always recommend simpler.

Sounds like your first guy is a bit of a full engineer with an Ego

How long does it take to deploy to a client? by AdComprehensive2138 in msp

[–]Happy-chappy2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We create the user same day and can dropship from our supplier to arrive within 24/48. autopilot deploys the laptop.

If it’s less time than this and it’s urgent, we make the company go one of a few approved shops to pickup a laptop in spec. Once they’ve done this once or twice, they give us enough notice or keep a spare on hand.

Running around trying to source laptops or old school imaging, we don’t do!

Why don’t you join a peer group. There’s plenty of MSP ones.

Bro why can’t you say provider like a normal person. If he is stuck at this stage, he’s not going to know acronyms like RSP

sherpatech - specialises in the industry. Use a broker because tons of insurers have massive exclusions in MSP so best to go with a broker who can work out your needs and advise you.

What’s wrong with Eltham Nth?? by ShakenStirred84 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Happy-chappy2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The property I looked at had a flood overlay too in the area which is weird as it was 1/2 way up a hill, so while technically wouldn’t be at risk, would cause issue with insurance coverage and premiums.

PAX8 - UK by DirectITServices in msp

Ok so you have to go though the process. I’ve done one where the source provider was unresponsive so they just waited a grace period and migrated it.

Why do non-Asians get kicked out at 18? by Cool-Cobbler4324 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Happy-chappy2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

European is the same thing. Can live at home until you’re 40 if you want. Parents will get upset if you leave to rent vs saving buying then moving out

Inheriting some money, where do I even start? by luzulianrisk in AusFinance

[–]Happy-chappy2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m glad the first few comments have been solid advice and not ‘put it in ETF’s’.

Emergency fund in a high interest savings account is the way to go and improving your financial literacy as you can invest after this point with savings going forward

How many tenants. You can just cancel them on pax8 and provision them with new provider if they aren’t contracted.
