Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 16, 2004 -- On Christmas morning, that shiny, new computer or high-tech gadget you receive will have you singing with joy. But sometimes the joy is short lived when that device is difficult to operate or abruptly malfunctions, giving you the post-holiday blues. Thankfully everyone in Richmond now has a remedy to his/her digital headaches: Chris Casheros, the mobile computer geek who recently launched two new franchises with Geeks On Call®, the nations premier provider of on-site computer support. Offering assistance to businesses as well as residential customers, Casheros and his team of computer professionals zip throughout Richmond in their trademark Chrysler PT Cruisers (affectionately dubbed PC Cruisers") to deliver essential computer services including troubleshooting, repairs, upgrades, wired/wireless networking, one-on-one training, and custom-built PCs.

No matter whether they are for home or business purposes, computer technologies have a nasty habit of misbehaving at the most inopportune times. As if that werent enough, PCs are constantly under siege by incessant digital threats such as viruses, worms, spyware, and hackers. Sometimes its enough to make you want to lift up your arms and say I surrender." Recognizing that these frustrations were quickly becoming widespread, Casheros joined the information-technology (IT) industry in the late-1990s in the hopes of curing peoples digital dilemmas.

After earning the prestigious MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification in a mere six months -- an almost unheard of feat -- Casheros joined a well-known banking institution as a desktop support specialist. He also spent nearly two years as the senior desktop technician for a successful communications firm before founding his own on-site computer support company. The invaluable experience and lessons learned from operating a one-man business made Casheros appreciate what Geeks On Call® offers its franchise owners -- namely a central dispatch department that sets appointments for all of the franchises throughout the nation; full-service advertising and marketing departments; and the back-end business and technical support necessary to ensure that all Geek customers receive outstanding service.

Geeks On Call® is the high-tech equivalent of a doctor who makes house calls. Too often small businesses and residential customers lose substantial time and money while waiting for their computer problems to be fixed by a retail store that often keeps the computer for too long and charges an arm and a leg! Refusing to tolerate this type of slow, unsatisfactory service, Geeks On Call® goes against the grain and brings help directly to the customers doorstep. Everything the Geeks technicians need to complete their tasks is nestled inside their company-issued Chrysler PT Cruisers that are emblazoned with the Geeks On Call® logo and toll-free phone number.

Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call® initially served the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Va, where it experienced immediate success. Overwhelmed by the publics hunger for dependable computer support, Geeks On Call® realized the only way to satisfy its ballooning customer base was to franchise the company. In early 2001 Geeks On Call® launched its first franchise, and now it has 244 franchises operating in 15 states throughout America plus the District of Columbia.

Not only have the prompt, reliable services provided by Geeks On Call® found success with residential clients, but also with small-to-medium-sized businesses that simply cannot afford the enormous expense of hiring an IT staff.

Now everyone can have access to superior computer repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting, wired and wireless networking, personalized training, and custom-built PCs without emptying their wallets.
