East Lincoln Computer Services

The big question. The first question most people ask when encountering East Lincoln Computer Services for the first time is: "Why are your rates so low?"

The unusual answer. There are two primary reasons why our rates are so low.

• First, the demand for computer related services in our area, though expanding rapidly, is still relatively low. We want to be a supplier in this area; thus, we must charge low rates.
• Second, we really enjoy our line of work. Much of our reward for being in business is personal and intangible rather than financial. We enjoy providing services for people at rates which make them smile also.
