Major Technology Support Links
Apple Computer. Apple's support pages have won numerous awards for clarity of information and depth.
Microsoft. Need we say more.
Microsoft Update. If you're on Windows, you need to make friends with this page. Also, you can only do the updates if you're using Internet Explorer. Firefox and Netscape won't do.
Hewlett Packard. The standard in printing for almost 30 years, plus they make great computers and servers. Did you know you can get a color laser for less than $300 now?
Canon. Epson has to watch out, the color on these babies is phenomenal-plus the low-end scanners are outstanding bargains
LexMark. Great printers for PCs and Macs
IBM. Okay, so the new name is Lenovo, but you get to it through the IBM link. If you're going to get Windows, then get it on a computer that's worth it. IBM isn't good for our repair business, because the quality is so high. IBM and Apple are our favorite hardware companies. Sure, you pay more up front, but the customer service beats all the others hands down in our experience.
Favorite Technologies
Apple's New Intel Computers and Mac OS X . If want a computer that is for all intents and purposes immune to viruses, trojan horses, spyware, adware, and a plethora of other nasties that plague all Microsoft Windows platforms, then you'll love Macs. Compatibility with Microsoft Office and Exchange is not a problem anymore, and if you absolutely have to run Microsoft Windows based software, you can get Parallels for Mac and run any Windows or Linux OS in a separate window!.
Apple's iPod + iTunes . Need we say more? Anybody bought the Zune? Can you tell me why www.zune.com can't be found on the internet?
ProVUE Development. Makes a top-flight database called Panorama. It's actually much more than a database, it's a Rapid Application Development Environment (RADE) that allows you to create programs totally customized to your business. By the way, WTS+S has been working with Panorama since 1991. We even write web sites with it.
PocketMac. If have a Blackberry or PocketPC and want to sync it with your mac, this is the place. Has a lot of other cool stuff too.
Research In Motion. We love the Blackberry, but we're waiting for the Apple iPhone to come with GPS, Voice Command, and the ability to run Java Apps. Also, you can MILSPEC Blackberrys, while we don't think the iPhone will ever earn this certificate of ruggedness.
