“The speed and the ability of the upgrade will definitely give me more time to work on the finishing touches that have been missing lately,” Jo said. “It will provide a much larger window of time to add special effects and get the publication off to our proofreaders - who of late have not been given the time to do their volunteer work, well. “My time as Editor of Tailem Topics has at times been difficult, however since we have been working with Peri and Glenn from the Murray Bridge News, things have improved greatly,” Jo said.

“Clubs and organisations, like the CFS, Golf, Football and Netball Clubs, to name a few, are all contributing on a regular basis these days – we get the odd local family celebration, personal messages and comments, we even get photos submitted from a lady who lives in Kingswinford, England and who regularly holidays here.” “The best thing about the upgrade, is that we finally have a machine that is capable of working at the speed required – I transferred fifty gigabytes of files in just over 5 minutes, it was transferring files at about 100 mega bites per second,”
Jo said.

“It’s also nice to have the peace of mind that I’m going to get the Topics completed on time and to the proofreaders well before the printer’s deadline.”
