Nerd Camps

Is your child in the top five of his class and in every talented and gifted program the school has managed to salvage from the tax cut crowd? Does the prospect of summer sports teams and traditional summer camp put a terrified look in his or her eye? Take heart, your child can have a great summer, learn some great educational tools along the way, and be in his or her element ,  send your talented and gifted child to “Nerd Camp.”

What is Nerd Camp? Well what its not is a place ride horses, swim in a lake, or play organized sports. Instead kids spend five hours a day in class studying subjects they have an interest in, and incorporate cutting edge technology in their work. After class, the kids chill at a mandatory fun time, then have dinner, followed not by the old camp fire sing along, but a two hour study hall. If this sounds like a fun time for your talented and gifted child, then Nerd Camp may be an ideal three week camp. Of course, at a camp like this you will want to send you child with cutting edge technology (unlike some camps that will immediately relieve your child of their cell phone and tell you not to pack laptops). Nerd Camp encourages kids to bring their laptops and blackberrys and you can encourage you child with the newest in laptop technology like an I-Pad. Talk to the great people at rentacomputer.com at 800-736-8772.  You can also visit their site at www.rentacomputer.com

So for a different type of summer camp, send your talented and gifted child to Nerd Camp. Its might be something they look forward to every summer.

Everyone is Talking About iPad Rentals

Everyone is Talking About iPad Rentals iPads are all the rage these days but did you know you can actually rent an iPad?

Renting an iPad is an ingenious idea and it can serve a number of purposes.  Whether you need something to use for a training class or trade show, you travel a lot, or just want to check out the new technology, here is a look at a few reasons why you should consider renting an iPad today.

Training and Workshops

Andy Wendt of  Rentacomputer.com says he often gets calls from people looking to rent iPads for training classes.  “A really good use for an iPad rental is that training class or other event that just requires basic internet access. Before Apple released the iPad, the best you could do was to use a net-book or tablet device for internet access. An iPad is much smaller and easier to use. You can have an entire group of people online in minutes with their built in Wi-Fi or 3G connections that are available as needed,” Wendt said about the product.

Trade Shows

When you exhibit at a trade show, you often find many customers and consumers gathered around your booth, and maybe even more than you and your staff can handle at one time.   Imagine if you’d rented a few iPads for the weekend and had them sitting around your booth with your company website on the screen,  ready and waiting for those customers and consumers to explore your website, register, and more.  The sleek, new technology is attractive and will surely catch more than just a few people’s eye, as well as keep them at your booth while they’re waiting on you to help them.

Business Travel

If you travel for business, you probably find yourself with a lot of extra time on your hands.  Whether you’re stuck in an airport or a boardroom, pulling out your laptop every time you want to check the latest news, sports or weather, or to check your office email  isn’t always easy or convenient.  The iPad is so much smaller and easier to handle that you can use it virtually anywhere.  And it comes with both 3G and Wi-Fi capabilities.

Testing New Technology

Maybe you’ve been thinking about getting an iPad but you’re not really sure you’re ready to invest that much money into the new gadget.  Or maybe you’ve been thinking about purchasing several iPads for your office or staff and want to see if they’ll fit your company’s needs.  Renting an iPad for a day or even a week will help you determine whether or not the iPad is right for you and your company.

Renting any type of technology is great because you don’t have to spend a ton of money on equipment you may only need for a certain period of time.  If you’re exhibiting at a trade show one or two weekends a year, or holding training classes for one week every six months, purchasing equipment for that can be expensive.  And it’s such a waste to spend money on equipment that’s going to spend the majority of time in storage.   Not only that, but technology is ever-evolving and becomes obsolete quickly.  By renting, you get to take advantage of the latest technology without having to pay for constant upgrades.

So, if you’re thinking about using some type of portable technology for your next event, business trip, or training class, consider iPad rentals from Rentacomputer.com.   For more information, call 1-800-736-8772 today!

Tech Travel Agent: The Best Solution for Your Computer Training Needs

Computer training sessions can be time consuming, stressful, expensive, and inadequate when set up by yourself. Setting up your own session will distract you from the goal of the session: training. How effective would your training session be if the equipment is outdated, the software is not installed properly, or if you brought your projector, but forgot the screen?

Renting from Tech Travel Agent (TTA) is the best solution for your next computer training session. Consider the following:

  • Any technology you purchase becomes outdated quickly. Equipment rented from a TTA is always state-of-the-art.
  • Do you know how long it will take you to set up your training session? Take this unknown out of the equation by using a TTA.
  • If some of the equipment does not work properly, we have spare equipment, just in case. Do you?
  • Your TTA will install, test, and troubleshoot all equipment and software before your training session. This will allow your session to be more effective by eliminating interruptions. We will also provide technical services if such an interruption arises.

Tech Travel Agents are experts with experience in setting up training sessions. We will turn your technology problem into a technology solution, allowing you to focus on the other aspects of your session. Contact a Tech Travel Agent today at 800-736-8772 or visit us online at http://www.techtravelagent.com/.

A Day In The Life Of a Tech Travel Agent

Tech Travel Agent from Rentacomputer.comMost days, for a Tech Travel Agent representing and facilitating Computer Rentals, there is no such thing as a ‘typical day’. In most cases customers are not sure exactly what they need to make sure their event, trade show, or convention goes off without a hitch, but that’s why the call their Tech Travel Agent. However, there are rare cases when an experienced and knowledgeable customer can convey their needs in a clear manner to make an Agent’s job a little easier. A recent order handled by Tech Travel Agent Tony Cipollone is a great example of the types of orders Agents handle every day. Below you can find a copy of one that order.

Hi. We’re planning an event at the Rio in Vegas on 10, 11, and 12 September 2008. We are looking to shop around renting the equipment we need. We had some bad experiences with [name withheld], and they’ve soured us on ever working with [name withheld] if we don’t have to. I hear we don’t have to, so we’d like to work with anybody who isn’t [name withheld].

We already own 6 brand new Shure PGX wireless mic sets and 6 25′ XLR cables. Here is what we need for each day.

10 Sept & 11 Sept
· 4-channel mixer
· 8-channel mixer
· 2 patches into house sound
· 2 wireless headset mic sets
· 1 wireless handheld mic set
· Appropriate audio cables
· Projectors… one 2200 and one 3000 should be OK.
· Screens… one 8′ and one more like 10′ should be OK.
· Appropriate video cables

12 Sept
· 8-channel mixer
· 1 patch into house sound
· Appropriate audio cables
· Projector… one 3000 should be OK.
· Screen… one more like 10′ should be OK.
· Appropriate video cables

Please let me know pricing, suggestions, tax, services charges, pickup or delivery charges, etc… Don’t leave anything out. J Delivery would be the afternoon of 9 Sept 08 and you can pick up as early as say 3pm on 12 Sept 08 as we’re done by 1pm.

If you also rent sound guys/gals, we’re going to need them as follows:

10 & 11 Sept
· Two engineers, both 7am – 6pm

12 Sept
· One audio engineer, 7am – 1pm

Thanks!
