Atlanta Embraces New Trend in Computer Help

Atlanta Embraces New Trend in Computer
Help
09/23/2004 02:41 AM

As the complexity and functionality of computers has surged in recent years, so has the number of software conflicts, hardware meltdowns, rampaging viruses, and other digital gremlins. In more simple times a technologically-inclined friend or neighbor could be called upon to save the day, but now that same type of haphazard help is no longer sufficient to cure modern malfunctions. With no choice but to seek the help of licensed professionals, computer users have scrutinized their options—and have been sorely disappointed. On the one hand they can receive phone support, which is often difficult to understand and is replete with communication barriers. On the other hand they can take their computers to a local mom-and-pop repair shop, but unfortunately that requires disassembling the entire system and lugging it to and from a car. So what’s a computer owner to do? High-tech experts like Keith Abbey have the answer: on-site computer support. The growing trend of on-site services has begun to sweep across the nation, which is why Abbey decided to ride the wave by purchasing an Atlanta-based franchise with Geeks On Call® -- the nation’s premier provider of on-site computer support.

Several years ago, as electronics technician Lloyd Yancy worked on laser-guided missiles and a bevy of other high-tech equipment, he occasionally ruminated about how this valuable hands-on experience would lead to bigger and better things one day. Finally, after years of perseverance and patience, that day has arrived; Yancy has just become the owner and mobile computer technician for a new franchise with Geeks On Call® -- the nation’s premier provider of on-site computer services. Rocketing throughout the Atlanta suburbs in his sleek, retro-styled Chrysler PT Cruiser (affectionately dubbed a “PC” Cruiser), Yancy delivers a complete range of critical computer services to homes and small-to-medium-sized businesses alike.

3rd Wave Hits Atlanta


3rd Wave Hits Atlanta 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
3rd Wave, a provider of outsourced IT services for small- to medium-sized businesses in Atlanta, is building Wi-Fi networks without charge for venues around town as a way to drum up awareness of the company: So far, it has built hotspots in 12 venues and expects to have a total of 20 unwired by the end of next week. 3rd Wave doesn't charge for setup or ongoing maintenance and its only requirement is that the venues in turn offer the connection to customers free of charge. 3rd Wave listened to its workers who suggested that a coffee shop across the street from its offices set up a Wi-Fi network so they could work from the shop. When the store, part of a national chain, began offering Wi-Fi, it came with a fee that was too high for 3rd Wave workers' tastes. "So we sat down and thought, 'what if we wired up places like that?'" said Mike Landman, president of 3rd Wave. The company initially approached a few venues in town and started setting up networks, but since the word has gotten out, owners of coffee shops, bookstores, and restaurants are now coming to 3rd Wave asking for the free setup. Shops that offer the connection also set out table tents (self-standing flyers) that mention 3rd Wave. The gateway signup page that users see when they fire up their computers' browser for the first time on the network displays a 3rd Wave logo and a description of the company. 3rd Wave has a few requirements for which venues it will build the networks for. "They have to be retail with business traffic, so if you're in the sticks or only cater to 15 year olds we wouldn't offer it," Landman said. Some shops that have been denied have offered to pay 3rd Wave for the setup and ongoing maintenance. "So we're entertaining that idea," he said. Landman particularly targets venues nearby his offices. "We want to keep where we set them up close to where we are to build a sense of community," he said. 3rd Wave uses access points (APs) and software from Sputnik. That software lets 3rd Wave remotely reboot the AP and remotely determine what may be causing a problem. Landman credits the quality of the APs for the fact that his workers spend just 30 minutes setting up each network. 3rd Wave has committed to buying...

Mandriva embraces Lycoris


Mandriva embraces Lycoris 06/17/2005 06:45 PM
Mandriva -- formerly Mandrake -- is one of the world's most popular user-level desktop GNU/Linux choices. Now, only a few months after Mandrake extended itself to absorb Conectiva (hence the new "Mandriva") name, it has embraced the small but feature-rich Lycoris distribution. Lycoris founder and CEO Joe Cheek may end up as a Mandriva employee, although this is not certain yet, but Mandriva certainly hopes a substantial percentage of Lycoris's approximately 20,000 paying customers join MandrivaClub. This acquisition may be good for both parties in the long run. But a lot of its success may depend on whether Joe Cheek ends up working for Mandriva or walking away at the end of his current consulting contract, which runs only through this fall.

imageTurner Field in Atlanta will become home to the world's largest outdoor high definition display. The screen measures 79 feet wide by 71 feet tall. Those are feet, not inches. To give you a slightly better idea of how large this is, I've mspainted a perfectly to scale picture of what a 6 foot person would look up against the it. The scren reportedly has over five million LEDs and weighs 50 tons. Unfortunately, it is also destined to display stupid baseball outtakes for its entire life span.
