Twenty-five years, for a start. We have been designing and building personal computers long before they were christened "PCs". IBM introduced their first PC in 1980. We had been building computers for five years by that time.

Over the last 25 years we have had the opportunity to examine nearly every computer ever invented, nearly all of which have had some glaring design flaws. Over the last two and a half decades many manufactures have whittled their design flaws down a bit, but now the big push, for nearly all computer manufactures, is to chop away on their cost to build. A little smaller power supply, a floppy disk drive from the lowest possible bidder, a modem that just makes the minimum specifications, all serve to lower many manufactures costs to build.

We wouldn't feel right if we used inferior components, or offered our clients anything but the very best. We spend a little more for the components that make up all of our computers, and it shows. Our computer systems run much longer and better than nearly all others.

Some computer builders stoop so low as to use used or known defective parts in their offerings. Every one of our computers are constructed from the best quality components available from the world's best vendors.
We cut no corners!

Care and attention to detail during the assembly and loading of a new computer makes a big difference. Each and every machine built in our laboratory is handcrafted and personally tested and calibrated.

A word from J.R:
Should you elect to purchase your next computer from my company, We'll build you the best computer on earth…You have my word on it! You'll get a computer that I would be proud to have on my own desk.

Again, nothing at all to do with computers, but some more food for thought.


If you are of the belief that guns are nasty and should be even more restricted than they currently are, please see the following links:

Guns in America, The Facts
DIAL 911 & DIE
It's amazing
The Bill of Rights

And remember, had there been a small handgun in each of the cockpits of those four airlines on September 11, they would have saved thousands of lives.

After all, can any sensible argument be made that a pilot, who has hundreds of lives in his/her hands, can be trusted with a multi-million dollar aircraft, but not with a three hundred dollar handgun? .....................

    When emailing us please insure that your imbedded "return address" is correct. (You might want to put your email address in the body of your message if you are not sure.) We have had messages from people whose imbedded email return address was invalid. This causes our response to Bounce, and therefore they never receive a response from us.

    IMPORTANT: When we respond to your request, and you then find it necessary to respond back to us, or just want to say thanks, PLEASE put your response at the top of the email and leave ALL the previous text at the bottom.

    We receive many requests for help each day. If you respond to something we send, and do not include the previous messages, we may not know to what you are referring, and your email may go unanswered.

    Twenty-five years writing software and working with computers has given me the opportunity to design and construct many computer programs, and later, webpages. I have seen what works and what doesn't.

    I have decades of experience designing and building everything from industrial controls to small and large webpages. If it has anything to do with electronics or computers, I have done it.

    Should you elect to use my services for any of your needs, I will give you much more than your money's worth. That's my promise!
