I think we've got prizes uh I've got prizes broadly mapped out now until around November, uh, when the magazine will launch. And I'm still deciding what the comp will be in the magazine. I've got some ideas. I've got some ideas. I've done a dummy front cover which has a pretty epic prize on the front. Um but I need the I need the budget to fall into place. I need some bills paid. I need cash flow. Because uh what I wanna what I wanna do needs cash flow. And unfortunately being a small business and um operating in a world of big business often takes ninety days for bills to be paid.
And so I sit here hoping that I'll have enough money at the end of the month for the wages. Fortunately, I've got a deposit today and I've got next month's wages covered. That's always good news. But that is the life of a small business person. If you're a small business person, I feel you, I hear you, and uh rock and roll. Um anyway, um, I'd love to hear from you if you've got a tech question. Today we're gonna we're gonna talk about everything from Sonos to TV problems to graphics cards.
