This is my primary desktop workstation and its hardware & software. I use this page to help with product information, tech support, updates, patches & add-on components.  

Internet Access & Web Hosting

I use Charter Pipeline cable modem service (512K down, 128K up) to connect to the internet.

My web hosting is provided by On-Line Consulting.

I get digital PCS cellular service (using a Nokia 3360 dual-network phone) from AT&T Wireless.

Where to
Buy Stuff

I've had good experiences buying software, hardware, and memory from the following vendors:

Phone/Mail Order
PC Connection | Micro Warehouse |
Insight | Computer Discount Warehouse
Memory
The Chip Merchant
Online/download purchases
BuyDirect.com | Software.Net

Price Watch (tm) and ComputerESP are great places to hunt down the very lowest street prices!
