What's going on at your local computer store?

What do people think of the services they provide you? Do you have a price tag on your head? Ya betta you do! The resources on the left are meant to assist you in planning your conversion. Don't have that price tag on your head and don't let them bully you around with operating systems that fail on purpose and where some stores want you to keep coming back for more!

It's not your computers fault that you're having problems! Do some checking with one of our Partners, you'll find that most of the reasons you're having problems are because of your Windows Operating systems. Windows was a great idea, Microsoft is scrambling to bring you answers but falls short! Pioneer is the solution that won't cost you an arm and a leg! It's the solution you've been waiting for!

A great article regarding the fear of change by our CEO is located at http://linux.sys-con.com/read/128141.htm which discusses some of the fears of converting to Linux and how to overcome them. Though the article is for business, you'll find it is the same set of fears that most home users face today. Another issue many face is where things are and the new learning curve Pioneer will bring. Lets face it, you've used Windows for years and now you're feed up and getting viruses daily and to top it off Microsoft dropped support* for your operating system if you're on 95, 98 or ME. Now is the perfect time to get your computer up to date and start running a secure initiative system. Pioneer fits the bill and very inexpensively.

You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a computer and operating system. Lets not forget all of the software you need to buy either! Microsoft loves to tell you cost of ownership on Windows is lower than Pioneer Linux, well lets compare them side by side with only a few items that make us stand out!

You've purchased your computer 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago or even longer. You may have gotten the computer from a friend who purchased a new one or even on ebay. You've been to the computer shop, had your friends or a friends child fix your computer and spent hours fixing all the Windows problems you'd care to discuss. Some of you have gone to the computer shop for those infamous "tune ups" and spent hundreds of dollars over the years fixing your operating system. Sometimes you watch repair people in amazement because they're using TaFusion to recover the data from your infested Windows computer.

Lets consider your operating system upgrade now (moving from Windows 95)

• You need to move to XP or the promised Windows Vista
• Windows upgrade to XP or Vista
  • Chances are you'll need a bundle of cash for the operating system
  • How about $49.95 for a FULL Pioneer Operating System!
    • Those with a PII or PIII computer
      • You're hardware is more than likely too old to run Windows so time for a new computer
      • You're system will probably run real real slow with Windows XP and forget Vista
  • You'll need a compliment of software such as Norton Utilities, Virus scanners, firewalls, and who knows what else. It just boggles the mind
  • You'll still get viruses
  • You'll still have similar problems that you've had before with things such as your system slowing down as you use it more
  • You'll find you'll still need "tune-ups"
• Pioneer upgrade
• You may not need memory if you're at 196 meg, although we do recommend 256 meg of memory on older systems
• You may have to replace a modem or sound card to support Pioneer (around 10 to 15 bucks each from a Technalign Partner
• You won't have to buy a ton of software for your computer, it comes with it!
• You'll probably need a walk-through or some training
  • But you won't have to be there all the time fixing those problems you've had in the past

Pack up your computer and monitor and bring it to a computer store. Of course you should bring it to one of our Partners, but we'll be happy to help and train your favorite retailer also with your conversion.

Your Partner will review your system and make a determination of what's required to get you upgraded to Pioneer. You may need some memory or a modem or new wireless card, but they'll provide an estimate for you. Our Partners can also run the Live Pioneer CD on your system and show you how it works right on your own hardware!

Estimated costs range depending on the operating system you select. If a Partner thinks you should move to a new system, they'll be honest with you and explain the differences. Remember our Partners go by our own Code of Ethics (click to view them)! If you feel one of our Partners has broken these Code of Ethics, please contact us and we'll resolve the issue.
