Blog with Pryer Solutions

I’ve been talking to Michael Proper
We’ve been discussing the future of ClarkConnect / ClearOS, and how the School IT Expert, might be able to get involved.

I also changed the Tads title to [...]

I’ve today installed a new forum for Pryer Solutions.
It’s for sounding out general ideas about where IT is heading, particularly in education.
