I read a tweet today about a friend of mine who lost her writing.  How?  The FLASH drive that she carries everywhere and contains everything has been lost.  Now, she does back it up, but not enough. So some very valuable work has been lost.

I remember a few times over the years where I lost my writing.  It’s devastating to say the least.  Yesterday, I completed my projections on a business venture I’m about to start.  It took weeks to put the numbers together. It took a few more days to put it all together and add formulas to the excel sheet. It took a few more hours to double check that the formulas were calculating correctly.

Hello World!  I have been asked to talk about computer financing.  Why?  Well because I’m the math person around here.  Guess that qualifies me huh?

Background

Anyway, recently, my partner and I decided to expand into the computer world.  It was natural after all, I mean we’ve been  in and around many IT departments writing about computers and computer programs for almost…well, lets just say, a very long time.  And like most companies, we decided to spread our wings and offer computers to our product line.

We get asked on almost every job that we do, “what kind of computer do you recommend?”  “I’m thinking of upgrading, what do you think?”
