OUT OF OFFICE RACY RESELLERS
DISTRIBUTORS, resellers and vendors had a chance to go for a spin in an F1 car simulator at Sennheiser’s partner day, with expert advice offered from experienced operators. It seems that advice didn’t work for some of the participants, however, with Jim White from Boffi ns Computer Workshops recording the slowest lap time at 2:26 – more than double the time of The Telecom Shop’s Mark Harrower, who took pole position with an impressive 1:11 lap. Let’s hope Jim’s sales skills are better than his driving skills.
Here are the times in full:
1. Mark Harrower 1:11.166 - The Telecom Shop 2. James Baly 1:11.466 - Nowcomm Limited 3. Matt Reybould 1:11.853 - Spectrum Telecoms 4. Ian Addis 1:14.550 - Dorset Software Services Ltd 5. Michael Waterworth 1:15.414 - Sennheiser 6. Robert Watts 1:19.137 - Westcon
7. Mike Harvey 1:22.374 - Level 3 Communications 8. Alan Williams 1:36.042 - Datasharp UK Ltd 9. Colin Childs 1:37.794 - Spectrum Telecoms 10. Dominic Parks 1:39.426 - Microsoft 11. Callum Hollinsworth 1:40.983 - Risual 12. Phil Masterman 1:41.871 - Level 3 Communications 13. Nick Wright 1:44.442 - Westcon 14. Rhys Matthews 1:45.492 - Westcon 15.

involving heavy lifting. They can also be used to support the arms and legs of those going through physiotherapy. Of course, if you’re just a mecha fan who dreams of stomping to work like a boss in your very own ‘powerloader’ suit, you will be able to pick one up from around $5,000.
CROWDFUNDING CORNER
KOR-FX somewhat worryingly describes its vest as having the ability to produce an output that ‘echoes into your chest cavity’ to turn your body into an instrument.
Have you seen the latest issue of @pcr_online magazine? Now with over 80 vendors and still growing. Think you know Northamber, Think again?
