When I sit here tonight. Waiting and waiting for a clients computer…it hit me. If I were a shrewd businessman, why would I ever suggest a new computer? We are hourly. We make money when we are waiting! The 5 minute reboots. All those performance clean-ups. All the errors. Those un-patched machines that end up with viruses for us to clean. And the waiting and waiting and waiting for a slow computer to thrash away through an overloaded registry and thoroughly fragmented hard drive. The perfect time taker!

Because… I am not a shrewd businessman. I am ethical, into good karma, and want to build my business right.

I want to be on my clients team. A member of their staff. A member or their “dream team”. Their success is my success.

If you are at or above 5 years… It is time. Reload it if you don’t feel new hardware is in order. Reload on an SSD drive. Just don’t let your employees or your hourly tech sit and wait for an old slow computer if it is at all possible in your budget.

Read the article, why you should by a $10,000 computer for a lesson on ROI and employee time.

My 2 cents. Or should I say, my $10,000.
