Sounds crazy doesn't it, but you did read it right, and there's no catch.  For a limited time only we are offering our excellent online backup service for half the list price, AND you can install the service and backup all data on 2 computers.

It's all-too-easy to think data loss is something that happens to other people, but accidentally deleting a file, spilling coffee on your laptop, or even leaving it on the train.... it could happen to you.  What would you lose if it did? Priceless family photos? Your music collection? That all-important document you were working on for an all-important deal....

Our new Online Backup service, PCSLiveDrive offers unrivalled unlimited secure storage for all your files.  Once backed up you can view your files from any web-enabled device using your unique URL, username and password.  Based on the same award-winning platform used by PCWorld, CompUSA and other leading brands, our LiveDrive backup service provides complete peace of mind without costing the earth.

You can try the service FREE for 14 days, without any obligation. We don't even ask you to proivide any payment information, so you won't incur unexpected charges if you forget to cancel.  If you like the ease and simplicity that guarantees your peace of mind, protecting your valuable data, then you can choose to pay just £25 for a year's unlimted online backup for two computers.  If you were to signup directly with our Partner, or a competing service, you could expect to pay £50 a year or more, so this really is fantastic value with no strings attached.

PuzzledWorld are pleased to be working with KeyWorkers Direct as a recommended retailer in the local area.

Internet security and data backups are both sensitive issues, that all too often we don't pay as much attention to as we maybe should.  We take our computers for granted, expecting all our files to be there the next time we turn them on.... but what if they aren't?

As authorised partners of Nine Technology and AVG we are extending a special offer to Key Workers throughout the month.  Sign up for our unparalleled unlimited online backup service and we'll provide a free license for the full version of AVG Anti Virus software.

Drop us an email if you want to know more, or call us on 033 3340 3380 - standard landline rates apply.

We've been busy on several other projects and partnerships though, with the following all expected any time soon:

Our broadband service partner, Heart Telecom, has just announced its amalgamation with 2Circles.  We are currently reviewing the additional services and opportunities that this will open up, but does mean a few changes in the interim.

• Broadband Referral Programme
  this was recently publicised to a carefully selected number of clients and contacts is unfortunately suspended temporarily while we continue discussions with 2Circles.  We hope to be able to relaunch this promotion within the next two weeks.  All existing referral rewards under the scheme will of course be honoured.
• New Customers
  We are still happy to discuss and arrange services with new customers.  This may be on slightly different terms to those currently listed on our site, but we will endeavour to ensure you receive an equal - if not better - package.
• Existing Customers
  All existing accounts are unaffected at this stage.  Your service will continue as it is, and support is available through the usual routes as before.

We hope to be able to offer a greater range of services at even better rates in the next few weeks.  Please contact us to receive further information directly as it becomes available.

Our increasingly-popular PCSLiveHelp and PCSLiveWire services, which enable us to connect to desktop and laptop computers remotely, has been further developed over the past few weeks, and now also operates on Android.  We can now connect to computers remotely from a mobile phone - subject to data connection - absolutely anywhere.  Obviously it's not too easy to navigate round a full computer screen on a mobile phone screen, but it does mean we can respond to urgent requests almost immediately.  The service also provides an indication of where a device is located, which can assist in recovering stolen computers.

Street Kids Direct and Radio Christmas announced as new partner charity, replacing Disabled Parents Network.

We mentioned it in another post last week, but now the changes have been made we can repeat it more officially....

As of today we have made a couple of changes to our contact numbers, as below:

Our main number remains unchanged, 033 3340 3380, and our existing 08 numbers can also still be used, but it is the 03 number that we now use on all material.  Calls to 03 numbers are charged the same as all other standard landline numbers, and will be included in any inclusive minute bundles you have.

URL Shortening services such as tinyurl and bit.ly have become increasingly popular, owing a lot of their popularity to Twitter where long URLs simply don't fit within the 160 character limit.

As we begin to make more use of social media sites such as twitter and facebook, the need for such a service is all the more important for us, and rather than showing favouritism to any particular service we've setup our own!

Following the launch of our new "LiveBackup" service, powered by nine, we are pleased to be able to offer FREE 2GB online backup accounts.
