so I'm setting up a small business and there are a handful of things I need a help with. and who else is better to ask than the pos. So this isn't a new business, it's currently owned things I need to do and or deal with there is a website. I am making a new website but idk about transferring urls or domains or whatever. i dont even know the terminologies or what I need to know in order to do so email on said url... rent a seervice like fastmail.com or my ISP and use the url to do sometrhingt with ut??? i need the 101 a decent colour laser printer. part of this business is priting out certificates. doing enought that my own gear would probably be cheaper in the long run. i have a feeling that $100 job is gonna be poo poo. i know next to nothing about decent grade poo poo I have the mac lappy but a particular piece of simulation software requires windows so how do I bootcamp? thats the thing right poo poo how worthless am I also I can't pay anyone anything for this priceless advice. maybe I coul;d send you a tin of reduced cream if you transform my understanding

yard salad posted:i think there's even cloud-based windows instances you can get from someone, so you dont have to run bootcamp locally and your business partner could even log in to do whatever hmm this is all going to be out and about, not locally. dont wanna run cloud based poo poo on nz data plans soz.. i mean its s 256mb air surely there is enough space to run windiows. maybe windoiws 10 will be siufficient, i mean its windows not osx so old software generally will work right? thasts windows thing? allowing old softwarwe to run?

pram posted:my advice is to buy your domain through domains.google.com I was just reading the email from the old owner regarding this stuff. I was just thinking about the decision to do this, it seems like they have a lot of their stuff already on/with google. The other option was to do it through the business ISP and host the email and the domain through them. My suspicion is that the service or help I could get would be significantly better than with google if I ever had problems opinion? thanks pram for pitching in, I appreciate it

can you basically have like gmail, but with the sales@business.co.nz address I am thinking of using? that would be really handy I guess and you can still use email clients like the one on osx to connect to it right? presumably I would want to set up an entirely new google account for all of this too? a bussiness one. if there like a business google account thing I need to look into or is it all the same and you just buy/add plans etc?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:also that nice textured paper is going to feel a lot more legit and fancy than just standard-weight copy paper well I was going to use fancy paper regardless pram posted:Google domains will automatically set up the mx records and stuff and yes the email would be echi@whatever.com and it will function like a gmail account hmm this sounds appealing. I am torn a bit though, the ISP service appears to do all of this and is included in the monthly cost. plus I like the idea of local customer service. the google service on the on the other hand is probably the overall better service provided it works solidely... I think I will stick with the google considering it's already on there... cheers dudes

lampey posted:if they print enough that they would lose money because the printer is not working you should get two from a local company that services printers and has a contract. otherwise it doesn't matter because even the crappy hp inkjet do everything machines are cheap enough. this is the most expensive way to print per page and you will waste so much time with them. yeah well I thought I'd be wanting to look at a commercial printer rather than a home one anyway. maybe I should contact a brother rep and see what they have to say bobbilljim posted:how cheap is goog domains anyway? I wouldnt be hosting any web with nz isp, just letting them handle domain poo poo and emails whats hosed though is that I am currently with orcon home and wanna move to they business side but they want to charge $199 for breaking my 2 year contract... they guy saidf "ill give you $100 credit and more once you gert your cell phone plan with us". fuckin bullshit mate

seriosul;y am I going to have to learn sql or make my own database or something or is leaving poo poo in excel actually going to be the easiest??? George posted:the cpr card i get from the red cross is just a lovely raw text job that i print myself yeah the "default" or "go to" CPR poo poo in nz is st johns and they do an ok job but we supply plenty more mannquins etc so you spend most of your time practising not just talking about it we have a $25k mannequin that you can take its pulse and listen to it breathing and correctly hook up to an ECG its pretty neat ECEPt that the software it runs is windows only and apparently not even windows 10 and I doubt I can get a new license for w7 so I will be stuck bootcamping into w8 to run it
