Happy Thanksgiving

As the third Thursday in November rolls around each year, we are told we should be thankful. The very name of the holiday implies gratitude- Thanksgiving.  The first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for bringing a new people to the land we now know as America and through a very harsh first year.  They were helped out by a people who were different from them, but yet not so very different. America is made up of many diverse people of various backgrounds, countries of origin, and ways to celebrate life.  This year think about who you are thankful to and for.  Gather around the table and be thankful.   Life is short, don't reserve Thanksgiving for one day a year- practice ThanksLIVING every day.

It's all about the people.

Hard Drive Shortages

As most people on the planet know already, Thailand has suffered the most disasterous flooding in over 50 years. What you may not realize is that the vast majority of hard drives (used in PCs, Laptops, Servers) are made in Thailand.  The flood waters have effectively shut down all the manufacturing plants.  This means that there are shortages of hard drives across all PC and laptop manufacturers and the price is starting to climb.  HP is now only guaranteeing their prices for the day on which they are quoted, and it is anticipated that many other PC and laptop manufacturers will soon follow suit. 

What does this mean to you?  Prices are rising. It is not anticipated for the technology market to stablize until 2012.  Order fulfillment will probably be delayed.  Be sure the machine you want it actually in stock, to ensure you will get it in a reasonable amount of time. 

Think ahead and make wise purchasing decisions. And remember- this too shall pass.
