To help celebrate this event, they've given all Pocket PC Thoughts readers some great coupons: 10% off any hardware item (code: PPCTH10H), and 20% any software item (code: PPCTH20S). The coupon codes are good until the end of January 2004. Enjoy!

Are the Hardware Coupons redeemable against the 'Big Cat Hunting Stilts'? If so ...you manage to negotiate a £10,000.00 discount...the best offer yet available through PPCT!!!

Hi all,

Apologies for all the recent problems people have been experiencing with Proporta.com. We now hope that the recent stability issues with our site have been resolved.

The reason that we have experienced so much downtime over the last week or so, is due to a fairly major update made to our site causing memory problems with our SQL server. Some queries would result in our SQL server running out of RAM which would result in either paging, which as you may know seriously slows everything down, or bringing the SQL server down altogether. :cry:

We are fairly sure the worst is over and that normality shold now be restored. If you are using our site and run into problems, please let us know by e-mailing [email protected].

As way of apologising to Pocket PC Thoughts members, if you wish to place an order with us, please write in the additional information box in the orders form 'Pocket PC Thoughts - 'Your PDA'' and we will include a pack of 3 x Plastic styli for that particular model, providing we stock them :D

Apologies again.

Kindest regards,

Chloe Temple
Marketing and Advertising Executive
