Segment One: The MSP Question of The Week I have clients that have three PCs but don't need a whole lot, what should I do? Segment Two: Five Minutes with a Smart Person - Dr. Lance Reichenberger --- Host James sits down with his friend, Dr. Lance Reichenberger. When Lance was only 11 years old, he began working with and programming computers. His father, an engineer, sometimes worked on a computer at home. When he was not using the machine for his professional work, he allowed young Lance to learn while playing with this computer. This was before even a dial-up modem, when transferring data required a 5 ½ inch floppy disk. He found there was not much on the hard drive, so he began rewriting the programs. He changed out the hardware, added capabilities and eventually added an early stage modem to access in the internet. Technology was a natural match for his abilities and his father encouraged him to use the natural ability to create a future. As a young man, he volunteered in the emergency room of a hospital learned a lot about medicine. This led him to become an EMT and paramedic with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Although he had plans to become a doctor, those plans were sidetracked. He did, however, do a lot of the network cabling, computers, and programming at several medical organizations. He continues to be a subject matter expert in the area of medical technology. --- Segment Three: Notes on the News Cage fight! Yup, it's our turn to give our two cents on Zuckerberg vs. Musk.

That means regulation is coming. You can count on it. The National Society of IT Service Providers was created to give you a seat at the table when someone's talking about you. That includes regulator, legislators, and even the media. Find out more and join today at www.nsitsp.org We're working on your behalf to turn the industry into a profession.
