Summer 2009 - Watch Your Inbox


Well, we're working on a Summer 2009 Newsletter with some special offers in it including some free offers.

We're actually considering giving you something like a 1 or 2 gb usb flash drive with any purchase of $50 or more or something like that.
You'll need a coupon that will be in the newsletter which will have the rules. Feel free to click comment at the bottom of this blog entry and send us your feedback or talk to Jon at the store.
To get our Newsletter which we (try to ) send 4 times a year be sure your current email address is on our computer at the Largo store the next time you are there. You can also sign up online for our emails. We only send a maximum of 4 a year and you can opt out online at any time.
To signup or opt out please see the bottom of the webpage at http://www.usclargo.com or tell the guys at the store.
We recently increased our Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo search advertising in Pinellas county. Please watch for our ads when searching computer related stuff and give us feedback on how they look.

Notebooks have been selling especially well recently. Most folks who look at smaller notebooks, called Netbooks buy a real notebook instead cause the Netbooks have no CD/DVD and no floppy drive so to use them effeciently most people decide to add external drives (which we sell) but then your total cost is higher than a real notebook.

Custom PC's and custom upgrades remain the maincore of our retail sales. As does computer service including tuneups. If your PC is just not working right or seems too slow, we do tuneups for folks every single day we're open. Caution: don't fall for the gimmick ads you see on TV for software that claims to tune up your whole PC. We do many things and spend a good deal of time when tuning up your PC.

We still see a lot of our old customers who have been with us many many years and to each of you we offer our special thanks and appreciation for your business. We hope each of you will continue sending in (or bringing in) your friends because except for the internet ads we run, thats how we get new customers.

Lightning season is coming, so be sure you have a good high quality surge protector. The bargain basement ones don't help much (if any)!

We're also adding Twitter updates. when we can... See the link in the left column.

P.S. We are also experimenting, in co-operation with Google, with some social networking features for all of our websites and blogs, so we invite you to join those groups too! And no we don't send spam or release private information.

P.P.S. Did you know we have a separate staff that does our internet stuff? So don't blame the guys at the store if you see a few web mistakes here and there!

Spring 2009 - New Features - Sign Ups - Better Online Pricing - More

399systemsm

For $399 or less (or more if you need special features) we can build you a good quality custom computer!  Or sell you a netbook or for a little more a real notebook. 

And to make your life easier we've upgraded our online pricing so its much easier to use. 

You can browse or search products in stock at our Clearwater Largo Pinellas Park area store or browse or search 10's of thousands of products in stock in our U.S. warehouses.  

And if we don't have it we can get it for you, usually within a day or two.

Someone recently asked how we could still be in business when Circuit City and Comp USA (the real Comp USA) are long gone?  Weren't they bigger and better?  They were bigger but certainly not better.  Its the personal things we do for each customer that makes us stand out.  We listen.  We care.  And its the hard work and effort by our staff that makes it all possible.  We've been around since 1960.  And we'll be here in the future to help you just as we have for the past 50 or so years.

On the web we noticed that social networking has become popular.  In the left column we ask that you signup for what will become our own network of our friends and customers helping each other.  To make it easy you can use your Google or AOL etc., logins or create a new one.  We let Google handle the logins and our staff has no access to your user name or password.

We are in the process of adding comments, customer ratings of us and the job we do plus games and nuch more.  In the future we plan to add more online help for both visitors and customers. 
But it may not work real well until we get a reasonable number of folks signed up. 

So we hope you'll take just a minute and click the link and sign up or sign in now.

    Free & Safe v.s. Free & Not Necessarily Safe

    There's a lot of software out there on the web, much of it "free".

    Fortunately some of it is really free and it is safe (containing no worms, virus, spy ware, etc.) and may be incredibly good. Under the header Recommended, at the top left of this page, you'll find links to free software we believe is safe*.

    However many so called free programs found on the web contain either advertising or far worse including viruses, malware, advertising and so on.

    How do you tell the difference if you want to take advantage of the truly free products but not risk your computer (and yourself to problems that won't seem to quit)?

    Your fundamental and basic step is to be sure you have a real (paid) virus checker and spyware checker that should also check for worms, adware and other infringements on your privacy or even upon your credit. Yes you can get free versions of security software too, but they are usually limited and often may fail to prevent some threats.

    You can buy Norton Security, Microsoft OneCare, McAfee, or other name brand protection and install it on your computer before downloading any software. Properly installed and updated, that will prevent most (but not necessarily all) damage from the bad things that can attack your computer or steal your personal information.

    A good first step is to visit Microsoft or Google or one of the name brand companies web sites and see what they offer free. Downloads from Microsoft or Google or Symantec, McAfee, etc. are reasonably safe even if you have no protection installed because they are legitimate companies offering reasonable care that their downloads (and download processes) are safe and secure.

    Google, for example, offers some really great software including spreadsheet, database, word processor, presentation, image and photo management, absolutely free, and if you remember to unselect the check boxes to get on their mail list, you can get the software and avoid the mail lists.

    Microsoft also offers some really great software, absolutely free, including software to check for some threats as well as offering a free online scan of your computer. Symantec (Norton) and McAfee also offer free online scans of your computer.

    In summary, when you download, be sure you have commercial threat protection software installed before you download. Make your downloads from such companies as Google, Microsoft, Symantec, McAfee and the like which are the safest.

    For links to these sites and free software click the Google image above or visit our free products and services web portal where we offer links to online virus scans, as well as the proper links for free software at Microsoft and Google.

    * Please remember though, that no one, including us, can guarantee that you won't get some kind of bad software on your computer, but if you use reasonable care, the probability is very low that you will have problems.

    Also if you get a virus, worm or other bad software and can't remove it properly, call us for help at the Largo, store or bring your computer in any time for service and a checkup.

    Make Your Life Easier With Bluetooth

    33348 

    There's is a simple, convenient and inexpensive way to connect computers, cell phones, speakers, printers, and more and its called Bluetooth.

    Bluetooth 2.0 is a wireless technology that uses low power radio waves to communicate. For example you can plug a Bluetooth dongle into your USB port on your computer, install the software (if necessary) from the CD (If a novice, avoid D-Link dongles as they are a bit harder to install properly).

    To talk to a remote Bluetooth device (cell phone, printer, speaker, keyboard, mouse, hearing aid, heart monitor, car radio, headset, ipod, mp3 player, home entertainment center, etc.), you need to either pair the device (use a code for a password) or enter the provided code (for example a Bluetooth dongle for a printer will tell you the code to enter to connect to the printer). Normally you only have to pair a given device only once for security.

    Most Bluetooth software lets you control how secure you want the device to be.
    With Bluetooth and the proper software you can now transfer files from your computer to your Bluetooth enabled cell phone (buy your next cell phone with Bluetooth as its impractical to add it to an existing cell phone - but there are devices that claim to do it for some cell phones).

    And of course you can transfer pics, videos, address books from your cell phone to your computer or from your cell phone directly to your printer or speaker (you have to have a Bluetooth enabled speaker to go direct) or to listen to the recordings on your phone or music you connect the sound of your phone to your computer and play the music through your computers speakers.

    You can find a Bluetooth dongle at most computer stores for about $29 to $50 depending on the quality of the dongle, brand name etc. Same with other Bluetooth accessories.
    With Bluetooth your cell phone becomes easier to use as you can listen (talk if you have a Bluetooth microphone) through a Bluetooth earphone or headset or via your car's Bluetooth system. New Ford's and some other brand cars are now coming either with Bluetooth already built in or as an available option.

    Bluetooth even lets you do limited networking although the speeds, while practical, aren't the greatest.

    Newer versions of Bluetooth (2.0) do go faster though, it it may continue to improve.
    Bluetooth 2.0 also offers stereo, but the dongle on your computer needs to be Bluetooth 2, not Bluetooth 1 which is monaural only.
    After I plugged in a USB port Bluetooth dongle on my notebook, I noticed Excel and several other programs now had a bluetooth Icon to import directly from whatever external Bluetooth device (such as my cell phone) had files on it. And sure enough the pictures etc on my phone were quickly imported.

    If buying a new notebook, consider one with Bluetooth built in as while a dongle works fine, it sticks out a bit from most USB ports.

    For more information, visit www.bluetooth.com or www.bluetooth.org.
    To check our our current online (available to ship) bluetooth inventory, go here or if you live near our stores, go here to check current in store inventory.

    Recent Testimonials



    Recently we received the following letter from a new customer which we are reprinting below.

    We invite you to add your own testimonial or comment, good or bad, about our 66th St Clearwater - Largo area store and our staff......

    ------------------

    I am pleased to inform you of my total satisfaction with the newly
    acquired computer and especially, with the professional and knowledgeable
    service I was given at your store.

    I was having a problem and Mike Clark was beyond patient with me
    and my problem as it turned out this was a modem problem with Verizon DSL. He
    suggested and felt it was a connection issue and worked directly with me to
    resolve the issue.

    Thanks To the entire staff sales and service, U.S. computer,
    Corporation.. I feel certain I would not have resolved this or any other issue
    so quickly using a off the shelf unit.

    Thanks, a satisfied customer

    Why You Should Get One Of Our Custom Computers

    < < Did you know? Most folks get a standard computer case, but we also offer custom cases in addition to standard cases.

    What makes one of U.S. Computer's Custom Computers different from a computer someone else builds?

    Only the best quality components are used. We have been here since 1960 and building custom computers since 1969.

    We started building IBM compatible custom personal computers in 1986 and quickly learned that using the best components cost us the least in the long run.


    Unlike the giant computer companies we do not use a limited version of Windows, we use the same full version, licensed from Microsoft that you would buy if you bought Windows directly from Microsoft. And we give you disk to repair or reinstall Windows (which they don't).

    When we sell you a custom computer built to your specs, we give you a special warranty. We don't hire someone else to fix the computer. We fix it ourselves. You don't have to deal with a host of people by telephone. You simply call or come by our store and we take care of your problems.

    We still have customers today that bought bought their first computer from us back in the 1980's.

    They come back because they have experienced the quality of our computers and of our staff and know we will take care of them. Read their comments. We will take good care of you too!

    There are many more reasons why you should buy from us, but they are too numerous to mention here. Come by or call 727-530-4561 today or read more at our Custom Systems pages.

    Why We Are Better Than The Competition

    We have the largest in store inventory of any independent computer store and a larger on line inventory than any of the chain stores including Circuit City, Best buy or Comp USA.

    Better than our inventory is the idea you can actually speak to a human being who will listen and act responsibly regarding your requests.

    We fix computers, upgrade them and do most other computer related tasks.

    Stop by our store and see why we've been in business longer than Circuit City, Best Buy and Comp USA combined!
