New Year – Try Technology Solutions that Work !

Posted on by

How does it feel to be in the second decade of a new millenium ? It’s quite amazing when you think about it.  I remember when I was a little girl and I used to imagine what it would be like to be an adult living in the year 2000.  With the help of the images from movies and magazines, I imagined a world with floating cities and cars — something out of the Jetsons.   While the new millenium is not quite what they planned in the cartoons and movies of the 1970’s and 80’s, our world is definetly more advanced and on the cutting edge of technology.   I am constantly amazed at what a cell phone can do !

The Night Matt Saved Christmas !

Posted on by

So there I was sitting back in my recliner reading my email, and eating one of my wife’s delicious oatmeal and raisin cookies.  As I was sipping my egg nog,  my cell phone started to ring, and I checked the phone to see who was calling so late on the Friday afternoon before Christmas.   It was the North Pole, and the number was Santa’s private line !  I quickly answered the call to find out that Santa was in desperate need of my help.  His new software for tracking the present distribution had gone haywire, and his best elves had tried to fix it and failed.  I hopped into my four wheel drive sleigh — I mean car — and headed to the North Pole.  Away I flew like a flash, (those of you know how I drive, know this is true), and arrived at Santa’s door before you could say “Snow”.

Into Santa’s office I went right away, and fixed his laptop, programs, and all.  Soon Santa’s whole production was running again like a dream.  The presents were all in order, the boys and girls’ toys, dolls, and trains were ready to go, and Santa sighed with relief as he walked me out the door.   He patted me on the back and said ” Matt, you’ve been a very good boy this year, ol’ Santa is  thankful for your help.”   I heard him exclaim as I drove out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all, and don’t forget to give good ol’ Matt a call.”

When your elves can’t handle the problem give Spencer Technology Solutions a call at 540-815-9397.

Well known historian and author, Bud Robertson will be at the Christiansburg Barnes and Noble located at 110 Conston Ave for a book signing on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.   He will be there to promote his new book The Untold Civil War. 
 
Robertson describes his book as revealing new facets of a seemingly well-known slice of American history, and he says it is just in time to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  The book is dramatically illustrated with images and objects that are from both archives and compelling contemporary photography, this book delivers a surprise on every page: from precious personal mementos to forgotten battle sites. This book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the Civil War and is a must have for anyone with an interest in American History.
 
If you are not familiar with Dr. Robertson,  he is one of the most authoritative names in Civil War history, Dr. Robertson was Executive Director of the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission and worked with Presidents Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson in marking the war’s 100th anniversary. Among numerous books, his massive biography of Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson won eight national awards and was the basis for the mega-movie, “Gods and Generals,” for which he served as chief historical consultant. Dr. Robertson is the recipient of every major award given in the Civil War field, a lecturer of national acclaim and is a distinguished professor in history at VA Tech in Blacksburg, VA.
