Vikas, I remember your "My Green Stuff"! And, I know, your time management skills are very good! Keep it up!

@Dark Demon, Thank-you for commenting! I have this issue on a Mac and also on Linux where I don't have Winamp. Irrespective of the client and the Operating System, this persists.

The only way to be successful, in fulfilling any resolutions such as these, that I have observed is by allowing yourself to survive in a little distaste. Meaning, you cannot always be willing to do something that you really want to and when you have done things like these for a few iterations, you get into the rhythm.

Again, once you are into the rhythm, you must not start taking things lightly. I was an avid bodybuilder at a time, working out over 7 hours a day, for many years. Gradually, I started taking things a bit easy and now after 15 years, I don't exercise one bit.

Thanks! Glad that it is useful.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Amit! This is an interesting figure - would be interesting to understand how Redhat defines an SME and what verticals within SME have what kind of distribution (of this figure).

Thanks KK!

Sridhar, Thank-you for reading and commenting on this post! We have a Gujarati saying that says, "It takes 1000 days for any business".

Saurabh, Thank-you for commenting! W.R.T. Point 6, my observations have been:

1) The proprietor/partners/directors of an SME have a very strong relationship with their hardware vendor.

2) Generally, they have AMCs in place for computer servicing, network maintenance, etc., which allows them to meet face-to-face quite a few times in a year.

3) Obviously, whenever there is a need for adding more computers, replacing some computers, they look towards their hardware vendor for their advice. (This is true even if the owner of the business is computer-literate).

4) Due to their strong relationship, every time, there is a need for introducing new software or replacing existing software, the local hardware vendor is first to receive a call.

5) Over a period of time, the vendors start understanding the typical software requirements and sign-up as dealers with companies such as, Tally, Microsoft, etc.

6) Thus, these hardware vendors provide a range of products and services like computer hardware, setting-up of networks, software for most common requirements, etc.

7) Only in very rare situations, will you notice more than one vendor catering to one customer. Thus, the relationship is one-to-one. That is, One technically sound agency serving all hardware, software, networking and advisory.

Because in India, the typical phrase used for these vendors is the “Computer wallah” who provides everything pertaining to hardware and software to the small businesses. People generally tend to ask, “How is your computer wallah? Is he good?”, meaning to say, "Is he technically efficient?".

yes, you did :-)
