The emails came from 2 sources so far hite2011@yahoo.com and chrisjjj26@hotmail.com?
Just looking to see if others have been getting emails from the Rev.
The fact that in less than a week he switched his email address is suspicious but it also brings about another interesting issue about easily available email accounts. I know that this can not be policed very easily but it shows how easy a scam can be set up executed and move on. Internet quotes are common, but these type of letters raise flags for us because we are not known for online sales. I am curious what types of experiences you have had? Please add comments and feedbacks to this entry.
Thanks from the techies at www.end2endsupport.com.

Many families have now shifted their focus to purchasing their kidscomputers instead of wasteful video games as they spend more time in the home and less on out door activities. The idea of buying refurbished or usedcomputers was at one time considered a bad idea but in today’s market it is excellent money saving option. Kids in today’s world can put acomputer to good use as they are required in many schools.

While buying refurbished may be attractive.
I only sell them if I can do it very inexpensively or I have a system that has exceptional value. With computers being so inexpensive these days I find offering new computers to my clients a better solution, not more profitable, but a better solution and more reliable for them.
if you are in the market for a refurbished computer let us help you evaluate your needs and see if reasonably priced new system is a better choice. Give us a call or stop by the store E2 Computers - Tarpon Springs.

Everybody loves a great deal no matter what time of year it is. With Christmas slowly passing by there will be some awesome after Christmas deals to be had on refurbished laptops and desktops. Finding the right refurbished laptop or desktop for yourself is not a hard thing. Most sites offer customer reviews of each product they sell and market which allows previous buyers to give present buyers an idea of what they are buying. It is always helpful to read those reviews before you make your decision.
