We wish to thank, and publicly acknowledge, the following companies who have graciously offered their support to a group that was just starting out.

Their faith in supporting the unknown qualities of a new organisation must be commended and we encourage all members and visitors alike to return that loyalty…

aMember - www.amember.com
When you think of membership sites aMember usually comes to the top of your mind. They’ve developed their membership script into a powerful feature-packed application that is almost a must-have for anybody contemplating going into the membership business - and let me tell you, membership sites are coming back and they are a hot business model at the moment.

We highly recommend you going with aMember and remember you can visit their website and spend as much time at their demo checking out all the features.

Click Business Cards - www.clickbusinesscards.com
On a personal level, I started buying business cards online through ClickBusinessCards since 2002 and have never needed another printer since - they were that good, professional and cost-effective.

So when they happily agreed to support us early on that sealed it for us - Click Business Cards is the place to go online for your business cards - they”re Aussie-based and I highly recommend them.

CutePDF - www.cutepdf.com
PDF is the standard in sending and reading documents on your computer so when our group needed to produce pdf files for our newsletters and reports for members we turned to CutePDF who happily provided us with a copy of their easy-to-use CutePDF, which helps us create quality pdf files.

DealsDirect.com.au - www.DealsDirect.com.au
We are very appreciative of the support shown by DealsDirect in donating a brand new ASUS 19″ Widesceen LCD.

DealsDirect is a online shopping, discount & bargain department store - and checking them out, I can easily see myself buying from them for a long time to come - especially with some of the amazing discounts you can get.

Show them some return loyalty and take a look at their site, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

FruitFulTime - www.fruitfultime.com
In these times of information overload no one is immune. At AEDA we have so much on our plate that we just had to get organised or else something was going to give.

On the recommendations of some of our members, they directed us to FruitfulTime.

FruitfulTime offers the software TaskManager v1.0 - and really it’s best coming from their own words - “FruitfulTime TaskManager, is a simple yet powerful to do list management software that helps you become organised, track your to do list, and achieve more in life. With FruitfulTime TaskManager you will fight procrastination, get things done, and deliver on time.”

We approached FruitfulTime and they were more than happy to support us, in fact their enthusiasm was something we never felt before. We now have a couple of copies of TaskManager and and are learning every bit of it.

We are greatful for the support Legend has shown us via their contribution of a large batch of flash drives for our members use.

We initially asked only for a couple of low-level drivers but were delighted to receive a large batch - many of our members are ever grateful.

Microsoft Australia - www.microsoft.com.au
Microsoft was also an early supporter of our group, when our feet where still wet and we were initially starting up - so the support they gave us - a full copy of Windows XP and Office - we greatly appreciate.

Verbatim Australia - www.verbatim.com.au
Verbatim Australia was one of the first supporters on board. They kindly provided us with a in-kind support of a Casio CD-R Title Printer.

This has enabled us to produce professional-looking CD’’s whereas otherwise we would have to use the old trusty black marker - a special thanks to those at Verbatim Australia for showing support early on.
