What's New?  (November 25, 2011) 

2011 is winding down and has certainly been yet another interesting and challenging year.  The economic climate which seemed to be coming back has turned once again and with financial troubles in Europe and the United States economists are forecasting another two or three years of "challenging times". 

As if all the economic challenges weren't sufficient, a horrific flood in Thailand at the end of October, 2011 has resulted in significant loss of lives and has disrupted production of computer hard drives (and other items) resulting in a virtual immediate shortage in the marketplace.  On the day the closure of hard drive manufacturing facilities was announced the average price of hard drives jumped by over 50% and has subsequently resulted in hard drive prices more than doubling from what they were only a month ago.  Additionally, we are warned that new production will be delayed significantly to the point availability of hard drives will be extremely limited until well into 2012.

 

Rapid change is one of the few constants in the computer industry.  Prices continue to be under pressure so the value for your computer dollar has never been better.  Intel continues to announce new and improved platforms which continue to result in higher performance with lower power consumption. 

At Simcoe Computes we are well positioned to assist our customers through these difficult times.  Our excellent relationships with our distributors and key vendors allow us to keep a close watch on what is going on and allow us to guide customers regarding the best solutions to meet their budgets and needs. 

Microsoft current Operating System "Windows 7" and their 2010 Office software have gained widespread popularity and acceptance.  Many businesses and consumers have held off moving up to new equipment for a longer than normal time and may now find the benefits of higher performance at lower costs difficult to pass up.  We would now urge you to discuss the options with us whenever you are ready and we will be pleased to find a solution which meets your needs. 

Change is the one constant in this ever changing business.  At Simcoe Computes! we pride ourselves on maintaining a keen awareness of industry trends and developments.  Our close relationships with key partners such as Intel, Acer, Brother, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Seagate, Viewsonic, Samsung and many other companies provide us advance knowledge of pending product releases and changes which may impact your purchasing decisions.  We encourage you to look to us for guidance to ensure your investment represents the best possible decision at the time. 

When is the last time you backed up the important data on your computer?  In recent months we have had a surge in the number of users who have lost critical data on their systems and had to resort to very time consuming, and occasionally expensive, methods of data recovery.

While our technicians are excellent at getting back lost data, the most successful (and least stressful) exercise is to not lose it in the first place.  If you are not familiar with the many options available to protect and backup your data, please ask our experienced personnel "before" something happens to your computer! There are now many easy and inexpensive ways to backup critical data . . . don't wait until it's too late.
