Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) December 25, 2004 -- For modern computer users, the incessant bombardment of spyware and other internet-based digital threats is often so severe that it makes them want to lift up their arms and shout I surrender!" Recognizing that these high-tech headaches were quickly becoming widespread, former radio announcer and thriving businessman J.D. Adams recently joined the information-technology (IT) industry in the hope of fighting back against digital intruders. To that end, he has opened two new franchises with Geeks On Call®, the nations premier provider of on-site computer support. Offering assistance to local businesses as well as to residential customers, Adams and his team of mobile computer experts zip throughout the Philadelphia area in their trademark Chrysler PT Cruisers (affectionately dubbed PC Cruisers") to deliver essential computer services such as troubleshooting, repairs, upgrades, wired/wireless networking, one-on-one training, and custom-built PCs.

During the 20 years that J.D. Adams worked in radio broadcasting, he never could have imagined that one day he would trade in his microphone for a pocket protector. Although he often interfaced with high-tech equipment during his radio days, it wasnt until he left the broadcasting industry and became a businessman that he began to become more interested in computers. However, the catalyst for his transformation into an official Geek didnt occur until several years later when, as many people can sympathize, he had the misfortune of an unexpected computer malfunction. He ruminated that instead of lugging his computer to a local repair shop, it would be nice if a repairman could actually come to his home. When Adams browsed through the yellow pages and discovered that such a service existed -- by the name of Geeks On Call® -- he knew that it would be a great business to join. Before he knew it he became a Geeks franchise owner, and now he has the privilege of helping the businesses and residents of Philadelphia to avoid computer crashes and attacks by digital threats such as spyware, viruses, worms, and hackers.        

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 16 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. Instead of paying exorbitant salaries to keep a full-fledged IT staff on hand, these companies simply can turn to Geeks On Call® on those occasions in which computer services are required. 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.

Currently, Geeks On Call® offers service in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. To schedule fast, on-site computer support, call 1-800-905-GEEK. For more information on the services provided by Geeks On Call®, log onto www.geeksoncall.com.
