Low-Cost Office Suites for Start-Ups
July 28, 2015
In the world of small business (especially independent start-ups), every penny can count. Dropping several hundred dollars on the latest and greatest software isn’t always an option. Especially if the software isn’t “mission critical” to the business. One of the benefits of starting a business in this Internet age, is that there is a plethora of free or nearly free alternatives to the popular and many times expensive productivity software. Below we will show you some of our favorites, with why they are favorites, and hopefully provide you with a way to get work done within your budget!

El Capitán del Capitán
July 2, 2015
The newest version of Apple OS X is now available for developers to preview and will be available to the general public in the fall. As co-owner and Apple specialist at Geek Easy, I couldn’t resist writing on some of the up and coming features just to name this blog post the equivalent of “The captain on the captain.”
If you haven’t read anything about the new version of Mac OS, the name comes from a vertical rock formation inside Yosemite National Park. Apple’s announcement at their annual developer conference outright stated that the operating system update is a set of refinements to 10.10 Yosemite that was released last October.

Mac vs Windows?
August 18, 2011
There was a time when there was a definite line, or difference between Macs and PCs. The software was different, the way they operated was different, and frankly, the user base was different. Not so much now…
Although there are still plenty of differences, the two Operating Systems are alike enough now to duplicate each others user experience. Macs users used to claim that Mac OS was the “easiest to use, most user friendly…”, while Windows (PC) users claimed that they had “freedom of choice” and the largest software library. For awhile, argument could be made for all of those claims. Again, not so much now.
Starting with Vista (arguably), the Windows interface has greatly improved its user friendliness, borrowing (some claim) many aspects that made Mac OS so easy to use. Mac OS now has a software base rivaling that of Windows. Mac OS users can even run Windows on Mac machines! While Windows still has the market share of personal computers, more and more people are choosing Mac as their computer of choice.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a computer, do the research. Find out what will fulfill your needs, and your families. Regardless of whether you choose PC or Mac, Geek Easy Computers can provide the support you will need to keep your computer running at top performance!
