| Greetings!
As the newness of 2010 begins to fade, we must come clean about the successes and failures of our New Year's resolutions. After only one month, it seems like we should be filled with pride because we have, thus far, fulfilled our personal and business pledges. Right?
Psychologists say no. Would you believe that some studies estimate that nearly 80% of resolution makers fail miserably? It's a staggering figure. But you can refuse to be a part of that unsuccessful majority. Like you, we at ABC Computers, are determined to stay focused on our New Year's goals and promises.
Please let us know when we can help you achieve your business resolutions. One of our New Year's goals is to help you achieve yours. Let's be successful together.
Regards,
Donavan Lane, CEO

The Highest Compliment Anyone Can Offer |

The great American humorist, Mark Twain, once said, "I can live for two months on a good compliment."
We second that! What's more, the highest compliment anyone can offer is to share a sincere recommendation with a colleague. If our work has earned your praise, please recommend ABC to other organizations that might need help with their IT infrastructure or business management systems. Then, send a note to Tom at tdoran@abc-computers.com to let us know.
