Press Release Summary: Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc. Provides On-Site Computer
Service and Solutions to Small Business and Residential Markets

Press Release Body: POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC, Mar 6, 2008 -
www.TechSectorStocks.com, a Technology Stocks Investor Portal within
Investorideas.com, announces new technology showcase company, Geeks On Call
Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: GOCH), a premier national provider of on-site computer
service and solutions to small business and residential markets. The computer
service market is growing globally, with both home and office user trends indicating
no signs of this growth slowing down.

According to www.plunkettresearch.com, \"The InfoTech revolution continues in the
office as well as in the home. The U.S. workforce totals more than 150 million
people. Microsoft recently estimated that there are 40 million \'knowledge workers\'
in the U.S. A large majority of the workforce uses a computer of some type on the
job.\"

With the advent of new technologies for personal computers ranging from social
networking to online shopping, users are more and more dependent on their PC to live
their daily lives. If their computer has a problem, service that is on-site,
affordable and results in minimal disruption is critical.

For business users, distributed workforces and remote access is a growing trend that
has resulted from urban growth, compounded by environmental and commuting cost
issues. According to a 2007 Gartner report, \"The worldwide corporate teleworking
population of individuals that spend at least one day a month teleworking from home
is expected to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3 percent between 2007
and 2011.\"
This shift in work locations creates new problems for a homebound work force who may
encounter technology problems and who seldom have access to IT support staff
traditionally found in the corporate workplace. This trend presents new
opportunities for companies like Geeks On Call that provide on-site IT support in
multiple locations.

While there are several computer service companies expanding their businesses in a
franchise model, Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: GOCH), provides a unique
opportunity as a publicly traded company to allow both franchise owners and
investors participation in their growth. Geeks on Call has over 250 independently
owned and operated franchises and continues to expand and open new franchises. The
company has been recognized for its growth by Franchise Times and Entrepreneur
magazines, which named Geeks On Call the #1 new franchise company in America in
2006.

Geeks On Call addresses service issues including system security and online privacy
solutions, hardware and software repairs and troubleshooting, wireless equipment and
network installations, spyware and virus prevention and removal, data backups and
transfers.

According to a recent article in CRM-daily.com, customer service in the tech sector
has some major gaps and concerns that would be considered unacceptable within other
industry sectors. http://www.crm-daily.com/story.xhtml?story_id=58532

With the household penetration for PCs currently estimated at over 75% in most
metropolitan areas in the US, there is a significant market opportunity for
companies that can provide on-site service and solutions.
