I work for a little computer shop in La Vista and we have tons of those 3
pin fan adapters, and if we run low or need a weird adapter I have always
been able to make what we needed. Please stop by its called Computerz and
More we are near 84th and giles.
This talk "It's a Great Time to be in IT", it seems to me that it is about
the business side of IT, currently I am trying to plan a simple startup with
some coworkers doing PC repair. Will this talk benefit me as much as it
sounds like it will?
