Black Friday 2012!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends and Family!

Let's remember all of the things that we have to be thankful for. For me, I'm thankful for many things. One of the things that I'm thankful for is the ability to put together my second ever Black Friday specials!   It's been a good year, so far, and I've cooked up a few things that may be of interest.    Please feel free to pass this on to people you may know, in the area,

Recently, the website has been launched:
http://www.skylance.us

The new site contains general information, contact information/forms, promotions and a tech blog.   Check it out


Free Dream Machine*:  Here's your chance to get what you want in a new computer.  I will sit down with you, either in person, or over the phone, and we will determine your needs in hardware, software, accessories, etc.   Yes, I said "Free", and, yes there is an * there.   Here's how this one works:   The first order for this special gets it.   Hardware and software costs will be the only charges.   All labor charges for assembly, testing, configuration, and demonstration are free.   This is a first-come first served special, and we can set up this job at your convenience.    This can be used either for a brand new system, or for an upgrade.

Home Movies To DVD:  Many folks still have their old home movies laying around in boxes, shelves, basements, etc.    As time goes on, time and the elements can cause them to deteriorate, quality to degrade, etc.   Here's a chance to preserve your old home movies, and enjoy them with today's technology.    Here's our special (and the fine print).  The base price is $15 per VHS cassette (up to 2 hours).  Tapes in 4, 6 or 8 hour speed will be charged extra.  This service includes the transfer of the video to one DVD, with menus, and chapters.   The DVD will be presented in a labeled paper sleeve, with a content label.   For an additional $5, the deluxe package will include a user-selected (or approved) disc label, full-sized plastic case, and case insert.   Additional DVD copies can be made for either $2 (basic), $3 (Deluxe disc, basic sleeve - basic disc, deluxe case) or $5 for the deluxe package.    Please note that commercial recordings cannot be copied.  This is a time-consuming service, and an estimate will be given during the initial consultation.   Priority service may be available, for an additional charge, subject to availability.  Presently, only VHS can be converted to DVD.   In the future Bluray output will be available.

Digital Photo Archiving: Like our old videos, our old photographs are in danger of time and the elements.   Take this time to get your memories, and family history digitally backed up before it's too late.   The special rate, if you submit an order before 11:59 Central Time on Friday 11/23/2012 is $10/hour.  Photos will be scanned at the highest resolution, for best quality reproductions.  You have options as to how you would like to receive your copies.   The basic option is $1 for CD, $2 for DVD in a paper sleeve with basic label.   Larger numbers of photos can be stored on flash media (most likley SD or USB Flash Drive) or on an external hard drive.   There is no additional charge for the first copy onto a user provided external hard drive or flash card.  

Buy My Glasses!  Folks who know me, know I wear some "stylish" shades when I'm out and about in the daytime.   I have found some new ones lately, and here's a chance for you to get the same kind I wear  everyday!   Just $10 a pair, and they're yours.  Colors vary, so please check with me if you'd prefer a specific frame color.   Here's a peak at what they look like:

Data BackupWhat if...?   Many things could cause you to lose your hard drive's contents.   Here's an option to preserve your documents, photos, etc.   For Friday's special price of $25*, you can rest easy.       You're responsible for providing or purchasing the external hard drive or flash drive onto which your data will be backed up.

Remember! 
Dust is your computer's natural enemy, especially during the winter months.   It's a good idea to dust out your machine every now and again to prevent a static discharge.

I enjoy bringing these specials, and I hope you enjoy receiving them.   My list has been created manually, and if you wish to be removed from future mailings, Just email me back, and you'll be removed.  

Happy Thanksgiving!
