They are a VAR channelled towards SMB's. They are a great example of what you get without having to hire an IT department. Taking into consideration that having a full time IT department that is only used part of the time, why spend the money? It would essentially be more economically sound to outsource an IT department. With an in-house IT staff, you have to pay for the staff person(s), their equipment, their desk space, etc. On top of those expences, you have to then pay their salary. These costs are ridiculously high. Now, to pay the service fee for an outsourced IT staff; that sounds more cost-effective to me. I don't know... maybe I'm off my rocker, or maybe people LIKE to spend more money than they have to.
Also most of them don't even care to learn how to use computers at all.
well, if most of them don't want to learn to use a computer, that is their problem. not wanting to learn to use a computer is not a end product of not learning in middle school or high school. if a person chooses not to learn, then they have reached a state of mind that will hinder their future advancement in life. don't blame them not wanting to learn on the fact (as i stated before) that they might have not learned in their teens.
may be we will stop using a computer as a typewriter.
i'm sorry, but in the majority of today's workforce, that's all a computer is good for; unless you are designing graphics.
"I think in today's society you're doing your kid an injustice if you wait until their high school years to introduce them to this technology."
i take great offence to that statement. kids should _NOT_ be using technology until their late highschool years. society needs to teach their children proper grammar, writing skills, sentence structure, and math skills. more time and effort should be put into learning liberal arts, not teaching a child how to use software that will be obsolite in six months! technology is constantly changing, and will always be here. just because they learn to use internet resources or `word`, it's going to be completely different when they learned to use it in highschool than when they use it in college; or even the work place. there is too much emphasis put on learning technology instead of learning liberal arts (math, science, art, music, etc). in closing, i highly disagree that we should purchase a laptop for our children, let alone require them to learn computer skills before their junior year in college. they have their whole life ahead of them to learn this stuff. let's not shove it down their throat; let's let them live and enjoy their young years.
with all that radiation.... you think it could be a cure for cancer out there? hey! we could all go bald, then... and not have to worry about looking funny, 'cause then we'd all be bald and have five arms growing out of us!!:-D
now what is the RIAA going to do? sue limewire or kazaa because people are using it to share more than music??? what is the world of big business coming to??? attacking college kids? what jerks. BLOW ME, RIAA!!!!
