LOCAL TECH SERVICE
Submitted by Cindy Wharton
Local Tech Service is pleased to announce the addition of a new service
- Remote Backup. By providing a "local" off-site backup service,
we could literally save your livelihood if something unexpected should
happen to your computer systems.
A well known fact is that most small businesses don't have a backup
plan at all for their critical data. Unfortunately, many of those who
have gone to the trouble to setup a plan are ill prepared for some
eventualities they may very well face today.
Computing has evolved dramatically over the past few years and became
much more integrated into our daily lives. Many of us don't realize
just how much we have come to rely on our electronic friends until they
suddenly get sick or, heaven forbid, die altogether. Just like it
would be a little late to think about life insurance at your funeral,
once your computer is dead or dying is not the time to make sure your
backup plan is really working.
One of the things we hear all the time is "my computer doesn't have
any important data on it." While in some cases this might well be
true, consider this. Reach over right now and simply unplug your
computer from the wall. I'm not talking about shutting down; I mean
just pull the plug. Now, take the cord and put it away for a week or
so! Will your business, and life in general, go on uninterrupted? If
not, your backup system is probably lacking. Please visit our website
http://www.localtechservice.com for more information or call us at
830.708.2692.

Boat N Go is working in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers and
Texas Parks and Wildlife to place cedar trees in Canyon Lake on Feb. 4,
2007. They will be placing the trees at 10 different locations in the
lake. This helps young fish by providing structure where they can hide
from larger predators. Volunteers are needed to help with chain saws to
cut the trees, and trailers are also needed to haul the trees to
designated boat ramps around the lake. Please contact Boat N Go if you
can help. The trees should be 8' to 10' tall and freshly cut. Boat
N Go is also looking for property owners that are close to the lake and
have cedar trees that can be cut down for this purpose. If you have
cinder blocks that you would like to get rid of, or if you would like
to donate towards the purchase of cinder blocks and straps, please stop
by Boat N Go at 1478 FM 2673 in Sattler. Email to in...@boatngo.com or
