The Story of the Eldest Geek & TopTech
<\/strong><\/p>

I am Craig Baker – the oldest independent computer dealer (at atmost 50 years in business) that any of you will ever meet!\u00a0<\/p>

Yes – I was selling, fixing and programming computers, long before the IBM PC even existed! In fact, let me tell you, THOSE were the days! I was selling an IBM PC, with dual floppy disk drives, no hard drive (they had yet to be invented for the PC world), a Green (or Amber, your choice) Monochrome Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. ALL for $2500! And I was making $800 PER COMPUTER – AND – best of all – I had the best price in town! SHEESH.<\/p>

These days, you sell a system for $600 that is 1,000 times faster, and you\u2019re lucky to make $100 on the sale \ud83d\ude41<\/p>

I have owned and operated my Computer Stores (CDB Systems Inc and Advanced MicroComputers) located in beautiful Colorado (Longmont\/Boulder area).<\/p>

I moved out here in 2003 to get married and after helping a number of local computer stores, I decided open my own store again – as The Eldest Geek! I can help YOU with WHATEVER computer questions or problems you have!<\/p>

I must confess after moving out here I’ve been rather surprised – the Colorado Front Range is a MUCH higher-tech area than DC!<\/p>

Hardware, software, programming, security, it matters not – I\u2019ve done it all! Curious about my background? Find out more HERE<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAlex is my stepson - and in all the years I\u2019ve trained technicians he is by FAR the best that I\u2019ve ever trained! He has been with me for 4 years and I would not trade him for ANY Apple \u2018Genius\u2019 or any Geek Squaddite that is out there. And I would put his skills up against ANYONE in the area and bet good money he would whip their behinds.\n\nAnd did I say ANYONE? I mean a STORE full of Apple Geniuses - or other techs in the area!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
