Tech help desks have a stigma that surrounds them. Long waits. Frustrations. Failures. Calling them is rarely a pleasant activity. Things will be changing.

‘The Four Seasons”, a musical composition of the Italian 18th century composer Antonio Vivaldi, now has a graphical representation thanks to a prototype system called ‘SisTeMu’.
