Listing ONLY “Peter Kowalski” not my full name, easily apparent in the program itself, as Alexander Peter Kowalski. Thus, I’d never find it online) & this would be part of the grunds I am suing on if need be for libelling me online since 2004. This is not an idle threat, it is a certainty. I am rather insulted & furious regarding this incident that has long been hidden from myself via what I feel are nefarious means.

I had the opportunity to attend last Tuesday’s LIBA lunch, and boy am I glad I did. There was a lively debate between Jeff Fortenberry and his Democratic opponent. As far as debates go, it was fairly informative and there were just enough political jabs going back and forth to make it entertaining.

But I have to say the best part of the event was when I had the opportunity to award a brand new notebook computer to Paige from Strictly Business Magazine. Paige recruited 19 new members for LIBA’s membership drive, besting all others in the effort.

For the first time ever, Schrock Innovations will be holding a launch event open to the media to kick off our 2006 Holiday PC. The Holiday PC Launch Event will be held on Friday, November 3, at the Villager Inn and Suites in the Lincoln Ballroom from 2-4 PM. We will be giving away special discounts to those in attendance and there will be a drawing for a free weekend in a Branson, MO condominium!

We will have a number of awesome speakers present interesting content including Coby Mach – the host of 1400 KLIN’s Drive Time Lincoln, Mayor Colleen Seng (or a representative from her office), Rod Scher, Editor of Smart Computing Magazine, Gene Hanlon with the city of Lincoln Recycling Office, and of course, Thor Schrock from Schrock Innovations.

I have been invited to speak to a rotary club at the Knolls Country Club today. This is the second time I have spoken to this group in the past five years, and they always have excellent questions afterwards.

I will be talking about the importance of considering a Modular PC when it is time to buy a new computer. Rather than heading to the box store and buying a “canned” PC, consumers can get an amazing value by choosing a Modular computer.

The average consumer can save more than $1,000 over the course of 3 years by buying a Modular computer. Most consumers and businesses upgrade or replace ther computers every 2-3 years. By selecting a computer that is designed t be upgraded the costs of maintenance and upgrades can be significantly reduced.

What is a Modular Computer?

For almost 2 years customers have mentioned that our Service Center is difficult to find the first time around. We have wanted a larger sign for some time, however the covenant in our business park heavily restricts what signs may and may not be posted on the office building.

After 4 months of negotiations, design submissions, and design revisions, we finally have a prominent sign that will help our customers easily locate Schrock Innovations. The new sign features channel cut letters mounted on aluminum rails. The rails will reduce the number of holes we will need to drill in the building facade to achieve a secure mount.

There will also be an SI logo that will be back-lit at night by embedded LED lights. The light should be soft and gentle so as not to disrupt the homes that face our office to the south at night. We are also posting an updated door logo and are replacing our old, handwritten hours sign with vinyl lettering.

Similar changes are also being implemented for our Omaha Service Center (although that location is much easier to find than our Lincoln Service Center).

The sign is being installed as I write this and as soon as the installation is complete, I will post pictures for here, and on the Schrock Innovations contact page.

When I first started this blog I promised that readers would get a glimpse behind the scenes at Schrock, and maybe even a heads up to things that were in the works before they were “officially” announced. We have 4 major announcements lined up that will be released at various times between now and February 2007.

Some of these will be more impressive than others, but I can assure you that many of these announcements will further entrench Schrock Innovations as Lincoln’s #1 Independent Computer repair company (as voted in the 2006 KFOR Best of Lincoln) and will further elevate our standing in the community as corporate leaders and industry experts.
