These are a few of the more notable things on
the bucket list.
Custom Built Desktops - (DOZENS BUILT!) -
The lack of pre-built inventory caused by COVID and supply change issues forced an
operational change for the busines. We started building and offering custom desktops
using the components that were available. This turned out to be a great move. Now we can
do EXACTLY what the client wants without being limited to pre-built machines. We have
basic well-balanced configurations that we use a starting point. These can be altered as
desired. We will ONLY use high quality components that we would be comfortable using
ourselves. If your looking for a mid to upper end machine, this may be worth
considering.
Synology NAS Storage - (NOW IN DAILY USE) Disk
storage space was becoming an issue so we tripled our capacity. Not only that, we went
from Gigabit to 2.5Gbe transfer speeds. This has been a great boost in productivity and
data availability. The old Western Digital NAS will be used to backup the new NAS.
2.5Gbe Ethernet - (NOW IN DAILY USE) Plain ole
gigibit just isn't enough these days. Yet, 10GBe is prohibitively expensive at this
time. The solution was to go with 2.5Gbe in the interium.
OOMA - (NOW IN DAILY USE) OOMA is a Voice Over
IP (VOIP) solution for home ane small office use. It's low cost and will work with
existing telephone lines.

VMWare - (PLANNED) - A Hypervisor for running

more efficient use of existing hardware. Our intention is to use VMWare to replace
HyperV which is being phased out by Microsoft.

Meyer Computer and Consulting installed a new hard drive into my older desktop computer. They were able to clone the drive so I lost no existing data. They were able to quickly complete the replacement at a more than fair cost. I strongly recommend Meyer Computer and Consulting for your computer needs. - VIA Facebook Review
Hey! We're impressed. Stayed in for lunch and was bored and went in and checked out your website. Boy, have you done a lot. The pics of the vehicles look awesome. I like all the pics entering into town. Great pictures. Yes, it definitely needs a new paint job. I showed these to [others]. They say you have a "top notch" display.
I just wanted to thank you for all the work that you have been doing on the Website. I looked at the pictures and the text that you inserted regarding the memorial and I was in awe. I have received many emails from the Commission praising the pictures and how they have renewed energy in completing the project. You should be very proud. Great Job! Thank You!
The site looks very good! No surprise to me.
Shelby, you do good work!
