Keep On Trucking: Strong Partnerships

/

For some reason, the song “Trucking” by the Grateful Dead keeps popping into my head as I write this note for the Pitstop site. What a long, strange trip it’s been! The Internet revolution has gone from the new economy to a series of dot-bomb catastrophes. Many terrific Web sites have come and gone, and PC Pitstop is still thriving. Wall Street invested in many crazy Internet schemes and waggled about first-mover advantages. They were so wrong. It’s really the last man standing that wins this game. The same can be said for virtually any business.

Holiday Shopping

/

HAPPY Holidays, everyone! In our family, each person makes a list of the gifts they would like to receive, and then my mom decides who needs to buy what for each person. We used to do it the old-fashioned way, but this way is so much better. Everyone gets what they want, and we can spend the day after Christmas enjoying each other’s company instead of running to the store to return gifts.

Your Hard Drive In Peril

/

HELLO everyone, and happy Thanksgiving.
This month, I’d like to talk about your hard drive. Whether you realize it or not, it is the most important part of your computer. It reminds me of that MasterCard commercial: “Brand new computer: $1400. Internet access: $20/month. All of the data on your hard drive: priceless.”

Welcome to PC Pitstop

/

HELLO out there everyone! I want to personally welcome you to our site. I’ve worked in the PC business a long time. Most recently, I worked at Gateway computers for 8 years as Senior Vice President of Gateway’s Consumer Division. In addition to profit and loss responsibility, I was in charge of all of our phone staffs throughout the world. That’s sales, customer service, and, most importantly, technical support.
