SPAM, SPAM & SPAM - What is Spam?
Spam is usually sent indiscriminately to hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of inboxes using recipient addresses often obtained by illegal means. Spam is sometime referred to as “Junk Mail” although this should not be confused with legitimate e-mail shots sent to subscribed addresses.
Discus provide a proven email filtering service which will eliminate up to 99% of all Spam – speak to Damien about our hosted email service on 08000 24 24 11 or send an email to damien @ discus . co. uk
Green IT
Most people now agree that being 'green' is the socially acceptable norm. A survey into public attitudes and behaviours found, rather than being an alternative lifestyle, the main motivation for an environmentally friendly lifestyle is guilt about harming the environment..,
It is said that an environmentally friendly firm not only saves money but can achieve an edge over its competitors with clients who look for corporate responsibility towards the planet rather than profiteering.
Here at Discus we try to do our bit. Damien makes sure we recycle cardboard, paper, plastic and tin. We also understand that Green IT is not only about the new stuff you buy; recycling PCs for use in the third world is an initiative every business should adopt. Second hand machines expand the use of computers and IT skills around the globe and without draining scarce resources producing a new machine. The EU’s WEEE - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – directive attempts to get businesses to dispose of electronic gadgets responsibly through recycling and reuse.

Football
Did you know Discus now have their own 5 aside football team with our very own Andrew Guy as Player/Manager? We have now played a number of matches and our skills as a team improve with each game.
One of our recent games was against Rompey Pompey where we unfortunately lost 5-4 in the dying seconds of the match due to a controversial penalty!
