Just a quick note to say that if you go to http://www.sevenoakssoundandvision.com you will see our interesting range of new products (do not go if people who can see your screen are very easily offended) If you do need to go the Sevenoaks site try http://www.sevenoakssoundandvision.co.uk

Mods I hope you don`t mind me putting the web address up. I know it is against the rules but there is a genunie reason. Please feel free to deleate as you feel fit.

All the best,

Andrew.

I am not sure but I have allready had one person phone up asking if they can dem one of the models shown. As a group we have had to change all our E-mail addresses.

All the best,

Andrew.

I wouldn`t mind turning the dials on one of them (etc, etc...)

Not good, Andrew. Area 450`s forums got hacked earlier this year and it`s a right royal pain to get it up (oo-er) and running again.

Luckerly I pay headoffice a big fat franchise fee for them to sort that sort of thing out.

All the best,

Andrew.

Wahey!!!

Sorry, that doesn`t help much at all.

Though on the bright side - it might help you drum up a bit more business!
I know i`d risk a wasted journey to your shop just on the offchance!

Looks like it might be the DNS server that`s been got at - if you ping the two addresses, they come up with different IPs. This happened to Netnames a while ago - loads of sites got redirected to a page "Fluffy Bunny goes Jihad"

I would say this is far more likely to be a case of:

"Help! We`ve been the victim of an IT peon who doesn`t know what he`s doing with our DNS server"

Could be - they chose a great site to reroute the DNS to, though!!

You won`t believe this Andrew....

The sevenoaks .com site now links to Audio Ts homepage, you must be well chuffed at that.
