Welcome to the SmallBusinessComputing Forum

Welcome to the SmallBusinessComputing forums! In addition to my role as executive editor of the Small Business Channel, I am small-business owner myself (my wife and I own a commercial printing company), so I know the challenges facing today's small and medium businesses -- like how to keep current with today's technology without spending an arm and a leg.

That's why we're here. On our parent site, www.smallbusinesscomputing.com, we address these issues on a daily business: what technology to watch, where to invest your hard-earned dollars, and how you can solve your own computer problems.

The purpose of these forums is to extend the discussions and help the small-business community to gather, compare notes, and share advice. These forums are for you -- please join in to discuss the issues of the day, ask questions, or share some nuggets of insight.

And remember: both these forums and www.smallbusinesscomputing.com exist for you. Please let us know what you think about the forums and the Web site, and don't be afraid to make suggestions.

Dan, shame on me for not coming to these forums any sooner. Tonight I have spent a good amount of time viewing the content and the messages from the forum participants. Clearly, this is a "small business technology" environment. I have seen attempts at this type of effort in the past, but never with the level of knowledge, desire and drive expressed in these messages.

I look forward to coming back often.:D I only hope my input is worthy and intelligent of the responses desired.

Hi can any one help me i'm trying to setup a internet cafe, what do i need, i have at the moment 16 computers running xp, a router and broudband, but the computers are running quite slow as they are not that fast, what i would like to know is how would i go about setting up a main server so the other computers could run of the server, thanks for any help on this matter

If the pcs are slow, they'll be slow no matter what. IF it's the internet connection, then that won't be helped by a server either.

Maybe, this can be usefull. See, you have a site with technology, and it is great. Really. But I'd suggest having a page (or a hundred :) about MODELS of online business.

For example, my niche is selling digital goods, ones, that do not require physicalk delivery (snowcron.com). As I am a programmer, I wrote everything myself, and definitely, reinvented the wheel many times. Because, there was no resource, where I could find info about what is already done in this area, how good it is, and how much it costs. So I decided, that looking in the Net, and trying each solution I found, is slower, then doing it myself.

Well, you are in a unique position to change the situation. Wouldn't it be great to have a resource, explaining, how to (what are 2-3 best ways to) sell particular thing, online? So that newcomers don't have to do same research all over again.

This is not an awesome post and seems even pointless as spam as not even a signature???? why do some people bother???

@OzzyOz

You got that right.

Well if you are going to go to the effort of spamming (unless using some useless automated software), make the effort to do it so you get a backlink - that's the whole point after all???

Great initiative Dmuse, Looking forward towards being active on this forum from now on.

FYI Dmuse is no longer with the forum.

Hi everyone. I am new in this forum and very pleased to find this forum.

Hi everyone! I'm new to posting in forums and finding information, but I am curious about what kind of business software everyone is using? Do you prefer Microsoft or Mac, Excel to Open Office, etc.?

I just listened to an interview with Cindy Bates of Microsoft, about the what they plan to add for Small Businesses: http://theselfemployed.com/featured/...ast-microsoft/

Does anyone have any links to interviews from Mac's strategists?

Thanks Dan. We just launched paygorilla.com. We did that because we believe that electronic invoking is a great medium to connect small businesses. Also, we intend to offer financing, via invoice discounting later on. It is Free and very cool. Any chance you could try it and tell us what you think?
