Below is a 'who loves us' and 'who loves the product' list - a fair sample of satisfied customers who bought the CPU cards, cache and memory products we offered from March of '97 until we retired in June of 2000. Note they are in alphabetical order so that we don't offend any of our favorite people. And of course, tons of you are not on this list.

Apple promised an upgrade path for their PCI Mac buyers in 1996 and everyone waited. And waited. (And I can remember getting an order from Miami University in the fall of '96 for a 120MHz CPU card, at over $700. They were scarce as hen's teeth and despite our waving $100 bills in front of our supplier, in the end the order was canceled after weeks of phone calls and hours of wasted time and frustration and yelling on the phone - and the supplier ended up hating us because we nagged him rotten. (Actually we still do this, as Newer Technology will tell you). We drive all of our manufacturers crazy just because we demand product.

Then Newer Technology stepped in, in early 1997, with the speed solutions everyone was longing for. And in Feb of '97, Bob approached them with a view to selling their new, fabulous, MAXpowr range of CPU upgrade cards, and becoming experts in CPU upgrade technology, promising them that we would be their #1 vendor of CPU upgrades within 18 months. We nervously went on the www at 8PM on March 7th 1997, wondering how the heck anyone would ever find us, but they did, and we never looked back. Newer closed their doors in Dec 2000.

In 8 months, MacCPU became #1 vendor of the CPU upgrades, selling to the finest establishments in over 50 countries; giving both pre-sales advice and post-sales support to all their customers from the home-office user, to the hi-end video and film people who make movies and tv ads on their Macs and need the very Fastest and most stable Macs on Earth. We retired from the business in June of 2000.
