Q: How much does it cost to rent a computer?
A: It depends on time, space, spec and availability.

Computer rental prices vary by length of time, location,
specification and product availability.

Generally speaking: Monthly computer
rentals cost less per day than daily rentals. Typically
desktop computers rent for less money than notebook and
laptop computers.

Period of Time – Daily, Weekly and Monthly Rates

Computer rental rates are based on daily,
weekly and or a monthly rates. Tech Travel Agents, who book
computer rental reservations worldwide, report that Pentium
4 desktop computer rentals start at approximately $99 per
week in most markets in the United States and Canada. Based
upon computer specification, availability and location
required, prices can be 20% to 35% lower or higher.

Monthly rentals typically are around $149, but still
dependent upon specification, availability and delivery
location

Delivery
Location: Office Building or Convention Center

Convention center deliveries are generally more expensive than delivering to a business address. Often business addresses have close-in parking and
easy access to the delivery / installation room. A convention center complex requires a concerted effort from both the rental company and the company receiving the equipment at the convention center. Often convention center
deliveries are more time consuming and costly to deliver, install and
pickup at the end of the rental.

Computer Rental Unit Specification

Typically a computer rental consists of an Intel Pentium 4,
Computer running Windows XP. Standard RAM is 256 to 512mb,
30gb or larger hard drives. Higher computer specifications
cost more to rent. For example: if you require advanced
graphic cards, more ram, a different operating system or
software installed, computer rental rates will increase.:

Rental Equipment is a Commodity

Supply and demand issues come into play in the computer
rental business too. Supply can be affected by the number of
competitors and total computer rental units (known as a
rental pool) in a given market area. Having a Tech Travel
Agent book your technology rental needs means you will
always get the equipment you need. You are not dependent on
one single equipment vendor. Tech Travel Agents obtain
equipment via large technology pools from multiple sources
across the US, Canada and Europe

Is the US More Dangerous than IRAQ?

Over 61 thousand people have been murdered in the US since "Operation Iraqi Freedom" began.

You think its dangerous to be a US Soldier in Iraq? Consider this, the average number of US citizens murdered per year from 2002 to 2005 was 16149.25. Source: disastercenter.com

The United States Crime Index Rates Per 100,000 Inhabitants went from 1,887.2 in 1960 to 5,897.8 in 1991. By 1991 the crime rate was 313% the 1960 crime rate. In 1996 your risk of being a victim of a crime in the United States was 5.079%, and of a violent crime 0.634%.

Many murder victims were gang related. There are violent gangs in every major city in the US and innocent people are getting killed. Children are being shot while playing in their neighborhoods.

Now lets look at Iraq. Iraq has many war zone neigborhoods. But the death of American troops in IRAQ is less than 1000 per year. That's just 6% of the murder rate in our us war zone neigborhoods. That means overall the US is more dangerous to American sons and daughters than IRAQ.

Funny how over the same time period (March 2003 to January 2007)* the murder of an estimated 61,905 American citizens gets overlooked, yet we see a regular news media 'death count' of our brave men and women we call to defend our nation. God Bless those 3000 troops and their families!

Domestic War Plan
Where's the plan to defend our children at home in our neighborhood war zones? Where is the plan against gang violence and murder in the US? (headscratch)

Tiger Woods Tackling Video

Tiger Woods was harassed by a paid actor. Supposedly, Tiger was not in on the prank.

Tiger is on the Golf Tee with his driver, on the driving range. The actor sneaks up behind Tiger and spills the pyramid of practice balls all over the tee! Then he picks up Tigers golf clubs and starts running with them in his arms. Tiger sees this and takes to foot.

We see from this video, that Tiger woods has football skills too! He catches this guy and tackles him to the ground! He ends up rolling around on the ground, laughing with the actor. (Funny scale 2) 1 is best.

Here is the link to the Tiger Woods Tackling Video

Managing Paper In a Paperless Office (Part 1)

This is the first part in a multi part series on going paperless in your SMB business.

First obstacle in creating a paperless office is managing all the paper that comes in the office, whether it be vial mail man, Federal Express, UPS or a document generated or received from an employee it needs to be catagorized.

Hard Copy Papers fall into 2 classifications:

1. Important Documents to the overall company.
2. Everything else

All important documents must be scanned, filed and stored in the monthly important docs storage box or shredded immediately.

What is an important doc?
1. Any invoice
2. Signed contracts
3. Legal Documents from any Government Body including State, Fed, Local and County as well as OSHA, IRS, etc.
4. Tax Documents and Notices
5. Notices from Vendors - such as change of address, terms of service, etc
6. Legal Notices

What is everything else?
1. The papers on your desk that help keep you organized
2. Lottery tickets
3. Internal communications
4. Letters from friends
5. Junk Mail
6. Personal paper

So look at your employee desks. Are there any important documents that should be scanned, filed, stored or destroyed? Or are all papers classification 2?
