Have a trade show or an event and need to rent computer equiptment?

by

Own or manage a business?

Have you ever had computer equipment break down, or perhaps found that you needed extra computer equipment, but only for a short period of time? Have you thought of looking into computer rentals? ComputerRentals.com has been in business for over 25 years and is one of the oldest and most respected names in computer rentals throughout the US and Canada.

I can think of many reasons why a company might feel the need to rent computer equipment. Perhaps there’s a trade show coming up and you can’t afford to remove the computer equipment that you need for the trade show or convention from your offices? Rent it.

Perhaps your company has a large project and you temporarily hire a number of new employees? Should you purchase new computer equipment even though the new hires will only be working with the company for 6 months or less? It’s probably not a good idea as it will increase your companies cost layout for the project. Why not rent the computer related equipment that you need?

Along with the above listed reason for renting computer equipment you might have a short off-site employee training session that you need to provide computer equipment for, a short customer research project, or perhaps you’re moving offices but you decide to rent computer equipment for the new office to smooth the transition from one office to another? See, there’s probably hundreds of reason to rent equipment.

I know that when I worked with a plastic surgeon a few years ago I was there in the beginning helping him set up his new clinic from the ground up. We rented computer and other office equipment for the first couple of months until he fully moved his practice from his former office to his brand new clinic. Renting computer equipment was one of the best things that we did to get the office up and running quickly.

CRE can provide your business with short term computer rentals in the form of the latest PC or Mac desktops, laptops, plasma and LCD display rentals, and audio visual equiptment. You can also rent accessories for these products such as floor stands, DVD/VCR combo players, and audio speaker rentals.

If you manage and office or business do visit the ComputerRentals.com site so that you can see for yourself what kinds of computer rentals are available for your business needs.

Massive writing mode!

by

I’m on a writing streak today in case you can’t tell! I don’t know where it’s all coming from! Watch, there’ll be no new posts the rest of the week because I write myself dry today. LOL

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to warm up nicely here, and I’ve got a ton of garden work to do. So maybe it’s a good thing that I’m writing so much today.

Perhaps tomorrow I’ll bring the laptop outside and see what sitting in the garden inspires me to write about? Oh oh, look out … my gardening blog maybe end up with an onslaught of new posts if I do that! I guess that’d be ok if I actually saved some posts as drafts for a rainy day. Or in the case of a blog writer – a writing block day.

Do you ever sit in front of your computer and get in a real writing mood and find that before you know it you’ve written 10 posts?

Web design and Graphic Arts courses?

by

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been seriously considering going back to school for some course in web design, graphics and perhaps internet marketing.

I have years of experience in creating websites for others and myself, but I never pursued this as a form of employment. It’s always been something I’ve done on the side.

Now that I’ve been stuck at home for about a year and a half due to my stupid illness I’ve discovered that I actually can make a living by doing work through the internet. Whether it be marketing or design I haven’t fully decided, but I really do think I should work on my skills and learn a few more things if I really want to make this work. So I’ve been looking at the courses at Collins College. I don’t know if I’ll take any of their courses, but it’s giving me some great ideas.

I’m actually in the middle of redesigning a few of our sites right now. This is the only one that’s giving me trouble. The coding isn’t complex but it’s not as straightforward as on all the rest of the blogs. One wrong move and the site doesn’t work anymore! Perhaps if I did take some courses weird code like the one that makes up this theme wouldn’t be as much of a problem?
