They offer complete solution asisstance without charging (on the assumption that when you buy what you need for your project you'd buy it through them). The best IT reseller in my opinion is PC Connection by a long shot. They have account managers who will connect you with a 'Technical Sales Specialist' to answer all your questions and help you map it all out.

I'm a tech buff and am in a mobile job as well so I can likely speak to your needs. First things first! To carry your laptop, you'll need a backpack or laptop bag that is designed to fit the screen size to protect your investment. Some are vinyl, some are leather and some are faux leather. It really does not matter as all are designed to do the same things. I'd suggest finding one that seems well padded and is comfortable for you. Also, if aesthetics are important, find one that you think looks good. I personally carry mine in a backpack that has loads of pockets since I carry my power cord, a PC cable (to hook to projectors for presentation), a wireless mouse (much nicer than using the pad on the laptop), my cell phone, some headphones, a wireless presenter and a few adapters. My pack is loaded but it is also the most functional laptop bag I have ever owned. In order to get synced up to the Internet, I'd suggest a wireless laptop card from a cellular provider. It's basically a device that hooks to the USB port of your laptop and you can sync to the net using the device from any where that you can get a cell signal. I use AT&T and I know that Verizon also has some. I'm sure that both are very similar in terms of specifications. I'd talk to your current provider about what options they may have that way your cell bill and wireless card bill are combined on the same monthly statement. The last thing I might suggest is that you look in to purchasing a portable printer in the event that you might need to print documents while in the field. I know Canon has made one for years that is very reliable. Hope this helps! <a href="http://www.samritter.com" rel="nofollow">www.samritter.com</a> Edgar,

Technology definitely makes it possible without many of the headaches we used to encounter with a cluster of paperwork. I'd also be a bit curious about the chiropractic marketing that's involved in spreading this service. I may grab the book.
