Yacht Computer Service for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties

30. April 2009 by admin.

Alan Spicer Marine Telecom, Experienced at working on Sail and Motor Yachts, will come to your yacht in a marina or dock in Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties to service yacht computers for repair - including ships computer, navigation computer, and laptops of the owners - guests - and crew. Work can be done onboard the boat, or if necessary the computer can be picked up - estimate quoted - and delivered back to the boat.

Please make sure that you visit http://www.marinetelecom.net for all of your voice, Internet, and computer needs for yachts. If you have a repair, upgrade (slow computer, virus, memory, hard disk), or replacement need - please call ASMT.

Onboard wireless networking problems can be resolved. Internet Access systems can be fixed and upgraded. Cost savings can be had by deploying multiple Internet Access systems - including working with existing systems that you have. ASMT started out in Inmarsat Fleet 33 / 55 / 77 satellite systems on yachts - providing wireless sharing of the Internet for such systems - so ASMT knows how to deal with older and new satellite, cellular, wifi - and such systems onboard. Get your system “figured out” by a professional - and have it diagrammed and documented for daily use and maintenance purposes. Yearly support and consulting agreements are available at a very very low cost. No lower than that! You’ve gotta hear how low to believe it. Not I.T. kind of low - not Marine kind of low. But low low costs for 1 year telephone and email c&s with 1 onboard visit included in the deal.

ASMT - Value Added Articles, Value Added Products and Services

30. April 2009 by admin.

By now you may have read some of my articles on my blog and perhaps on my web site marinetelecom.net. In my articles, like my work, I try to go the extra mile … to get the background behind something. With my products I support them fully and try to remain knowledgeable at the “expert” or consultant level on them. That way you don’t just get a product or a service (in the cases of consulting and consulting + installation) but a value-added heads up on the industry or market behind that product. How it works, when and why it doesn’t work, and how to use it to your advantage to save money.

I try to not only sell and or install stuff … but to educate myself and my customers in the process. Someone said that an educated consumer is our best customer. If you’re not educated on something that I think you need to be educated on, I’ll get you there.

One of the most rewarding things in my business is to see a customers eyes light up … to see that “Ahah” moment when they “get” something. It’s important to not only sell products and services (to consult) but also to enhance peoples lives by delivering something that they may often not normally get - and understanding of the “how” and “why” of a thing or a particular equipment and why that product or technology can save them money or otherwise enhance their work and personal lives.

I enjoy making complex technology subjects more understandable for everyday people … who no doubt have enough complications in their lives already.

So, having said that, if I can be of help to anyone please let me know.

LG (lifes NOT good?) LG Display Executive Pleads Guilty in LCD Price-fixing Case

30. April 2009 by admin.

* IDG News http://www.pcworld.com:80/article/164007/article.html?tk=nl_drxnws

We see a lot of LG products … and we’ve all probably seen by now the commercials or ads with “LG” and the logo “Life’s Good”. Many don’t know that “LG” doesn’t really stand for “Lifes Good” but rather for “Lucky Goldstar”. You may remember some Goldstar products in past years … I personally spent some time working in warranty repair of consumer electronics such as stereo, video recorders, camera recorders, televisions and such. The company that I worked for was an authorized repair or service facility for warranty and non warranty repairs for Goldstar - among lots of other electronics companies (like Sony, Panasonic, Akai, Toshiba, Teac) - and so I saw the name in it’s prime time days.

There’s a wikipedia page about L.G. (and lots of other things) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG and it tells an interesting bit of history on L.G. Note wikipedia is a project with articles edited by many people from all over the world/Internet - so take such article lookups with a decent dose of caution. They are often good information - but don’t bet your career or doctorate thesis on them.

LG Display Executive Pleads Guilty in LCD Price-fixing case

Grant Gross IDG News Service - Apr. 28, 2009 4:30 pm

A South Korean executive with LG Display has agreed to plead guilty and serve a year in prison for participating in a global conspiracy to fix the prices of TFT-LCD (thin-film transistor liquid crystal display) panels, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.

Bock Kwon, who served in several executive roles at LG Display, conspired with employees from other TFT-LCD panel makers to fix prices between September 2001 and June 2006, the DOJ said. In agreeing Monday to plead guilty to a one-count felony price-fixing charge, Kwon faces up to a year in prison and a US$30,000 fine. A judge in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California must still approve the plea agreement.

TFT-LCD panels are used in computer monitors and notebooks, televisions, mobile phones and other electronic devices. In 2006, the worldwide market for TFT-LCD panels was approximately $70 billion, the DOJ said.
