Sponsored post: Windows XP Support ending on April 8th 2014 – WHO CARES!?

By Lisa Ace

STOP THE PANIC!
 
I have MANY computers running Windows XP. My updates are turned off and have been since 2006. I only install Service Pack 3 and the Daylight Savings Time patch. I also, by the way, have a Windows 2000 workstation (support ended in 2009) – IT WORKS FINE.
 
I don’t need, and don’t want, Microsoft’s updates. I haven’t needed them in 8 years, I won’t miss them after April 8th.
 
I have been in the computer business for 27 years – I stake my reputation on what I am telling you. Read my article on “Why you don’t need to replace your XP computer” at WWW.BATAVIACOMPUTER.COM

Sponsored Post: Vinyl Sticks welcomes Adam Lowder as their new Graphic Designer!

By Lisa Ace

Vinyl Sticks welcomes Adam Lowder as their New Graphic Designer!

If you have had a sign or vinyl graphics professionally created in the Batavia area within the last 15 years, odds are pretty good that you have worked with Adam Lowder. Adam has been working with patrons in Western New York, creating signs, banners, magnets, and vehicle layouts since 1999. With familiarity of all aspects in the sign and vinyl graphics’ field, and a true passion for this line of work, Adam is ready to assist you.

“Here at Vinyl Sticks, no project is too big or too small,” Adam explains. “Whether you are looking for a small sign to stick in your yard, a few window stickers to promote your organization, or to do a complete vinyl wrap on your company van, Vinyl Sticks will do the job right. We have the ability to take any vehicle and turn it into a driving billboard.”

Adam joins Joe Bradt at Vinyl Sticks, who has been the head of operations since the company opened in October of 2012. Joe is a third-generation sign craftsman. Growing up around his grandfather’s and father’s sign businesses, Joe adds plenty of years of experience to Vinyl Sticks.

Vinyl Sticks is a company for everybody, not just businesses. Although they do create a lot of yard signs for businesses to advertise their services, and specialize in vehicle designs, big and small, they also make every day birthday banners, welcome-home banners, campsite signs, car decals, stickers and much more.

"At Vinyl Sticks we are using state-of-the-art printers and software to create stunning graphics.  We use a wide-format printer which allows us to print directly onto a variety of media surfaces, such as banners and vehicle wraps. We have graphics that allow you to advertise on glass, while still being able to see out of the glass.

"We have graphics that can turn your silver truck into a pink or camouflage truck. Graphics that allow you to advertise on walls, on the floor, and even on brick walls, and because we are creating the graphics ourselves, it is very cost-effective. Our prices are very competitive.”

Vinyl Sticks offers free estimates, free consultation, and of course design, production and installation services. Feel free to visit Adam and Joe at Vinyl Sticks, located at 23 Ganson Ave. in Batavia, NY. Off of Route 63, turn onto Evans Street; go past the Falleti Ice Arena, and at the stop sign go straight onto Ganson Avenue. Vinyl Sticks will be on your right.

You may also contact Adam or Joe by calling: 585-300-4307 or 877-456-4755.
