One of the reasons I SOOooooo love the Solano Computer Guys is that they 
are one of the few stores that say "computers" and mean "computers". Not 
"Oh Im sorry we meant Windows". Ive taken them some pretty off-the-wall 
equipment. Old sparcs, out of production computers, some no one has ever 
heard of. They have never failed me.
