Laptop v PC - My ten cents worth. I switched from PC to laptop and have never looked back, the freedom to work anywhere is fantastic, you can be totally untethered from the office, especially with wireless broadband. Some observations regarding AMD vs Intel Inspiron debate. While there are few office based real world performance issues between the two machines, the AMD initial cost versus its performance is excellent. And it seems to be quieter too.
Re: Franchising? Why pay franchise fees? - I have found that most true entrepreneurs will never buy a franchise because they don't see the value of the franchise system. Bill Gates would probably never buy a franchise right? He created the system, he doesn't want to follow a system. A Franchise is a system. Bottom line is the bottom line. If you can't see where the name, system, training, support, products, & services will make you more money than opening your own business then open your own. It is a known fact that 90% of all small businesses close within 2 years. It is also a known fact that over 90% of all franchises are still open after 2 years. So franchising may not be right for everyone, but someone must be doing something right to have one open every 8 minutes in the US.
Re: Bye Bye Vista - [quote="David Castro":1kqd3snm][quote="RussellWebb":1kqd3snm]Is there anybody here using Ubuntu? I'd love to here about the experience... I hear Dell is offering it as an alternative OS. Seems a little bit on the technical side and I have concerns about the ease of use. Ubuntu is an alternative OS created in the same vein as Firefox.[/quote:1kqd3snm] Russell The simple fact that Ubuntu is unix based already make it a more stable and secure system, I would love to try it, I may once I have some free time. For how long have you been using it, and what is your primary use for it?[/quote:1kqd3snm] I've programmed for Linux-based operating systems before. Ubuntu might be fun for personal use so long as you aren't bothered by the lack of availability of Windows/Mac software.
Re: Invest in Real Estate or Stocks? - Having invested in both, I have found both real estate and stocks have their benefits and potential setbacks. For building your net worth, real estate is a great alternative. Real estate has risks because you are dealing with other people. My biggest challenges I have had in real estate have been due to the people I have encountered, because their ethics are not always what they should be. For passive income, I get a better return on my investment with the stock market. Many people say the stock market is more risky, however, the risk in the stock market is directly tied to education. If you are not investing in the stock market based on a proven system, the stock market is way too risky for you. In fact, these people are gambling...your odds are better in Vegas. That being said, for those of us who invest in the stock market based on a proven system, the risk is managed. It will never be eliminated (I don't know of any investment that has zero risk), however, you can handle the risk and still be profitable. Also, the only tools I need are my laptop and the internet. I execute my own trades, so I don't have to deal with any people. It's just me and the market. Aneshia
Immigrant entrepreneurs - It's smart to make them have to have a net worth of $300,000 before they can come into the country and some previous experience as an entrepreneur. Past performance is a good indicator of future success.
