Over the weekend I did a quick check of web apps that I might use for my 2BMobile's business operations and found way too many to realistically go through, figuring out which ones would be useful and that

Microsoft's Windows 7 becomes avaliable Today

Thu, 10/22/2009 — Ray Stahl
The much awaited and tested Microsoft Windows 7 is available today at all retailers.  We think that Windows 7 is worth the cost of upgrade especially if you been waiting to upgrade your Windows XP OS.  As  our regular readers know we are not big on buying propriety pc based software, but the ROI on Windows 7 and the lack of general support knowledge in the market for Linux based OS's make this a good choice for most businesses to consider.

It is all about the Software

Sun, 08/02/2009 — Ray Stahl
As the rate in which hardware technology creates new products for your mobile needs the real question we need to be asking is  will the software of tomorrow support my existing files and ways of doing business?
 
One of the important things that we do at 2BMobile is to evaluate new technologies to determine if the returns of Investment and Effort is worth the conversion process of changing from your current applications to newer ones.
 
One obvious example is converting from a desktop office suite to a Web-based

Netbooks Get New Operating System - Chrome

Wed, 07/08/2009 — Ray Stahl

Google announced that they will be providing Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.  Google is already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community.

Getting Web Apps vs. Buying Software

Mon, 06/29/2009 — Ray Stahl

Take Away:

  1. With free and rented software (aka Software as a Service, SaaS) covering almost all of the standard office type of applications  it is better to buy the unique package that drives your specific business.
  2. Computers are becoming so inexpensive that we believe the repair vs. replace break point is so low that  switching to a new computer is trivial.

Laptop’s Running Apps on USB Flash Drives

Mon, 02/02/2009 — Ray Stahl

I was cleaning out my desk when I came across a box full of 3.5” floppy disks that I used to back up my personal files many years ago and it was a great reminder of how much easier it is to use flash drives and external hard drives to backup and protect our important files.

Office Suite for Free

Mon, 11/17/2008 — Ray Stahl

As a small business person I am always trying to save money, but I am not crazy enough to save money to the point of losing valuable features. There is a product that does not have all the bells and whistles of Microsoft's Office Suite nor its tight integration with an e-mail client like Outlook but for a solid word processor, spreadsheet and presentation maker, I think that Open Office 3.0 is a worth consideration.

Open Office Suite 3.0

Mon, 11/10/2008 — Ray Stahl

The newest free version of Open Office's business software suite that provides most of the capabilities of MS Office was released in October 2008.

Open Office provides a very complete set of basic features that will cover about 90% of the typical MS Office users. It does not have the tight linkages with an e-mail client like MS Offices has with MS Outlook but if that is not a show stopper requirement then I think you will find Open Office a very good product.
