I recently upgraded my home internet connection, and I now officially have the fastest internet of anyone here at Puget Systems – even faster, technically, that our connection at the office. What did I get, you ask? CenturyLink 1 Gigabit Fiber Internet. Here is my account of how installation went, and my experiences with it so far.

As many of you have noticed, Microsoft has been pushing really hard to get people to upgrade to it’s latest operating system. This is a blog post I wrote to present my take on why they are trying so hard.
How quickly a computer boots up doesn’t always correspond to how much processing power the system has, or how fast the system drive is. This blog talks a little about what contributes to both faster and slower boot times, with a video comparison.
A little over a year ago, I wrote an article titled, “What I Wish I Had Known” that included specific feedback customers shared with me shortly after taking delivery of a new Puget Systems computer. Since that time I’ve talked to hundreds, if not thousands of customers, who have passed along more feedback that might be valuable to those who are configuring or considering a new computer.
With that in mind, here are a few more items our customers would change, if they could go back in time:
The batteries in our Puget Traverse Pro are lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
Throw out everything that you thought you knew about battery charging. Lithium-ion batteries are a completely different animal from how other types of batteries work and are charged, maintained, and stored.
I’m going to coin this transformation as the “small business singularity.” If you’re a science fiction fan like me, you might already be familiar with the idea of a technology singularity. In a small business, this transformation happens when the founder is no longer the sole source of initiative in the business.

I had the mission to write a blog post that conveyed how we keep the repeat business of so many of our customers. After writing several drafts, I realized that the post had already been written by our customers — in the form of personal emails I receive on a daily basis. With their permission, I offer you two emails I have recently received. They do a very good job of summarizing why people keep coming back to Puget Systems.
