Veteran's Day 2010

I would like to thank all of the veterans that have served in the armed forces this Veteran's Day.
Thank you.

Windows 7 Ultimate

I have an older PC that I decided to load a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate onto a few weeks ago. The upgrade was very easy. I have been messing around in the new O/S and I like what I see. I need to play with it more and add some software and even migrate some files over to see what really happens. More later.

Enjoy the week!

Q1 is done

Ok, one quarter into the new year and things are starting to look up. Sales are increasing, the phone is ringing again and people are listening to new opportunities.
It will still take time to get back to normal but at least this is a start.
Too many friends, neighbors, relatives and former co-workers are out of work. Foreclosings are at an all time high. Now that I look back and think about the people that bought some of these homes. Could they afford them in the first place? No. They bought a huge home and were eating off of a card table and chairs. Their living room consisted of an old college dorm couch and snack tables. A three month job layoff turned to disaster.
Now things have started to turn around but is it too late for some of these people to recover?

Enjoy the week!

Saving with Printers

How is your company coping with the economy? Has business started to increase? Are new people being hired to replace those that were let go last year?
The answers to these questions could be yes, no or maybe.
One thing is for sure, all companies are looking for ways to save some money any way they can.
A fairly easy way to save some $$$ and increase productivity is to replace old printers with new ones.
A printer that is just 3 years old can be slower and expensive to maintain. Replacing these old machines with faster and more efficient printers can save hundreds or thousands of dollars over the course of just one year. Older printers that are 5-7 years old are costing your company time and resources.

Enjoy the day!

iPad

There appears to be tons of hoopla with the new iPad tablet that was just released. Is this a true tablet or is it an overblown iPod? Apple nailed the price on it at $499. I have not seen it up close but I am looking forward to seeing what it can do.
More later.

Enjoy the week!

2010

Happy New Year!
According to almost every IT website and article I read today, the economy is on the rebound. Do I buy into this? Somewhat. There is not magical switch that is flipped overnight that will make people start buying but there should be a significant increase in business this year.
I am looking forward to it.

Enjoy the year!
