Do you think about a new computer. Is your old one getting slower and slower. Have you considered refurbishing or upgrading your old computer. Windows has the habit of clogging up over time, so you have to have it reinstalled every one to two years. Think of it like an oil change for your car. The longer you drive with old oil the worse it gets, until finally the engine quits and needs major repair. Same thing with your computer, the longer you have windows installed the slower it gets. You can only counter this effect to a certain degree with the maintenance I described in a former article. (Still available in our online archive). One might think this is a clever sales tactic by the computer industry, so you buy a new computer every so often, and it seems to work. Most people tend to buy a new computer instead of having their old one maintained by a professional. What a waste of money. We have refurbished computers for as little as $90. But if you want a new look and feel to your computer you may consider upgrading. Many of our costumers still use Windows 98. Well what can I say... If you are happy with an operating system that was already outdated when it came out and crashes on you 5 times a day, go ahead and keep using it, but if you are tired of the infamous “Blue Screen” and limited functionality you are a candidate for an upgrade. I have heard of so called professionals, uninstalling Windows XP on costumer machines and downgrading them to Windows 98. Well whoever is doing this is for sure NOT a pro. and does not even understand the basics behind it. But back now to upgrading. The size of your computer depends on what you are going to do with it. A lot of people just surf the Internet, do email, write a few letters and maybe do their taxes. We do all that and more on our smallest office computer, a Pentium II with 266 Mhz and 192 Mb Ram. In other words a very small and old computer running Windows XP just fine (and fast). An upgrade like this starts as little as $200 (installed). Try buying a new computer for that amount of money. Good Luck! For individual quotes on upgrades contact us at
