Since we now have a year's worth of business history to look back on as NSAO, we find it is necessary to reinstate the $10/Hour price increase effective April 1st 2004 for all new customers and May 1st for all current Time Block customers. We hope that all our customers which we consider our friends as well understand and value our services. A complete listing of current and previous labor costs follow: CURRENT vs. PREVIOUS Hourly $95.00 $85.00 5 Hour Time Block $425.00 $375.00 20 Hour Time Block $1,550.00 1,350.00 As a reminder of how the Time Block program works, in order to give the savings the customer MUST pay in full the Invoiced amount. If the full amount is not paid upon receipt NSAO will have to void the Time Block invoice and bill any used time at the full hourly rate. We hope these changes will allow us to continue to serve our customer base in the manner you have been accustomed to. Any questions please feel free to contact us. ________________________________ Spring Cleaning Spring has finally made it at least as far as the calendar is concerned. With that said may we remind you that this is a great time to consider scheduling an On-Site Spring Cleaning by NSAO of your Workstations and Servers. As you may know Heat & Dust are the two main enemies of electronics. The bulk of dust and dirt found in your computer equipment is a result of the cooling fans that move air through the insides of the system, as a result the dust settles on the fans and components creating even more heat. The fans become unbalanced and noisy and brings on early failure of the parts that are most affected by the increased heat. We not only clean and oil the fans but also try to find any possible problem areas as we work on each computer. It takes approximately 30 minutes per PC to go over the machine. We bring our portable air compressor and set it up outside so the dirt we are removing stays outside. So give us a call and get on the schedule. We look forward to seeing you. ________________________________ This Months Contest With Spring come the awakening of Nature and all of its beautiful colors. Since NSAO has given out Digital cameras in the past we thought it was time to give away an Inkjet Printer so that you can not only take the colorful pictures but now be able to print them in the same vibrant colors. To win this month's prize be the first to send an email to us with the correct answer to the following question. What is the reason for Color Inkjet Printers using BLACK Ink in the Color printing process? And we don't mean for printing the black text.
