Anybody remember the below WN Millennium chest (I am far too young:)) – it found a home in Australia but now needs a new home, anybody remember it or interested in it?  Pasted in the email below

W&N Millennium Chest, fitted out with Artist Water Colours etc.I believe the cabinet is made of mahogany.It is in “brand new” condition and is #36/145.You may not be aware, but at the time of ordering, you could nominate which one you wanted.I asked for #1 and was promptly told that was reserved for the then Prince Charles.What nerve !!!!!!!It also comes with a 22 1/2 pan silver plated metal box, fitted with artist quality. This is numbered #36/600. Once again, in “brand new” condition.I had offered both to our State Museum as a gesture of the states support of JDS, but there was so much “red tape” and no guarantee that either would go on display.Thinking out loud, I am wondering if W&N know of any interested parties as I believe these are now Collectors Items and I would like them to go to a good home.

Technology tip + status update for B2B NA

Dear Colleagues,

I have been assigned today to share some knowledge with all of you, representing the development team (within the technology team).

Here is a technology tip for the day! (Also taking advantage to provide a status update for B2B North America portal)

Have you ever asked yourself how to take a screenshot from your computer screen and send it to a colleague in a quick and easy process?

The computer tool for this is called “Snipping tool”.

There are several ways to attain this tool with either searching on google “Snipping tool” and download into your desktop or downloading snipping tool on Microsoft store (finding Microsoft store by press the window key).

The shortcut key is Shift + window key + S.

If this doesn’t work, I would even suggest to right click on the Snipping tool icon and click on “Pin to start” and you can find the icon easier on your taskbar. (bar located at the bottom of your screen).

Once you have it available for use, select the icon and simply hold left click to drag with your mouse what do you want to screenshot. Once done simply press “ctrl c” then “ctrl v” to copy and paste the screenshot in a message.

You can even use the pen icon on the top of the screenshot to highlight what do you want to showcase specifically.

On a side note, here is a quick update with B2B North America.

The launch of the B2B NA portal is due for mid-February. We have registered over 106 customers into the portal and I will write a post about an official launch for B2B NA in 2 weeks 😊.
