My Best for Back to School Competition Winners: All Participants

GALINNO Technology Solutions is excited to announce this year’s winners for My Best for Back to School 2015 competition.  With this being our first year having this competition, we were truly impressed with the submissions we received from all age groups.  Too frequently we found it impossible to select one letter over another as a winner,  so to our delight, we are happy to announce that all participants are winners in this year’s competition and will have the opportunity to select the $50.00 gift of their choice from Amazon.com, Best Buy or Staples!

Parents and/or guardians will be contacted today via phone and/or email to confirm the student’s award and gift card selection preference.  Although we cannot name each student individually or post all letters, GALINNO would like to thank all students for participating and making this competition a tremendous success.  We hope that students will use this experience to remain encouraged and focused throughout this school year and give all assignments their best effort.  Congratulations again and we cannot wait to speak with each of you very soon.

Sincerely,

GALINNO Technology Solutions

Above are our some of our client’s retired computers, electronics and printers that we were able to recycle and keep out of the landfill during the month of April 2015.  Please help us preserve our environment and your personal privacy by recycling your old electronics instead of placing them in the trash.  It may appear to be a simple act but, this added effort will have a tremendous impact.

Storing files on a personal computer or server or external hard drive is a routine habit that receives little if any after thought.  After the data is stored on the computer, in many cases it is not given any additional consideration in regards to its availability or integrity.  The data stored in the computer actually resides on a device known as a hard drive mounted inside the machine.  This device which can be mechanical or memory based has an average life span of three to five years.  For this reason, it is to any user’s benefit to consider storing your information securely in either the could or an external device in addition to the computer for added redundancy.  Because although the average life span of a hard drive is between three to five years, many hard drives will fail well before that period creating a situation that could result in unexpected data loss.
