technology consultant. He can provide a number of services to to clients not
only in DigitalDinos' raison d'être Classic Computing but also in modern
information technology concerns.
Classic Computing Services
Having problems recovering data stored on old
or obsolete disks, hard drives, or tapes from personal computer systems long gone?
Need to recreate yesteryear's computing environment to troubleshoot new problems
on?
DigitalDinos can help! Our lab has IBM and IBM compatible
computer systems based on Intel chips from 8088 to Pentium 4 and MS-DOS versions
from 2.11 to 6.22, Windows 3.0 to XP. We can even set up unusual
environments under hard to find DOSes such as DR-DOS and CP/M 86 and many
different hardware configurations. Because of the proprietor's penchant to
collect non and pre-IBM compatible computers, recreating and recovering data
from the popular, non-MS-DOS computing systems including the Apple II, TRS-80,
Commodore, Atari, Macintosh, and others is quite extensive! We also have a
deep research library of books and magazines from the period as well as many
long ago abandoned software programs. Send us an email
with your classic computer quandary today. We will work with you!
Modern Computing Services
Are you one of the many small to mid-sized company
in Lake, Geauga, or Ashtabula county without seasoned IT personnel on staff and
confused by today's plethora of information technology?
Is the quick talking, hard selling spiel of computer
marketers burying you like so much lake effect snow in December? Or
January? In Chardon?
Need someone in your corner who isn't in the pocket
of some hardware or software company? One who will take the time to
understand your business, model your processes, interview your leaders, and help
you to research and pick the right computer solution?
Need a second, independent set of eyes to examine
the latest plans from IT on your desk for hardware deployment or software development pointing out not just features and benefits but risks and costs?
And after the job is done, you want the choice as to
whether to continue on or part ways with no regrets?
Well, look no further!
