A Welcome to Our New Site Sponsor: Other World Computing!

I’d like to extend a warm welcome for site sponsor, Other World Computing!

OWC, as they’re known, specializes in quality storage and performance solutions for both Macs and PCs. I’ve been a satisfied customer of theirs for many years now (as my wife and credit card bills will both attest), which is why I’m absolutely thrilled to have OWC partnering with us.

You’ll notice that above each comic on the site is a custom PCW / OWC banner. Clicking through this banner to purchase hardware is another great way you can help support my site.

Obligatory Shameless plug: You can also buy one of my books, if you’d like. :)

As part of our partnership, I will be reviewing at least one new hardware item from OWC per month, which I will post on the blog. Full disclosure: I do not get to keep any of the products I review. I have to send them back within 60 days, just like any reputable tech reviewer should. I will write what I think of their products and reviews will be published on that basis alone.

Additionally, I will also be creating two additional webcomics per month, featuring the OWC character “Globie” on the OWC blog. (And speaking of which, earlier today I was interviewed by Tim Robertson for OWC Radio. Check it out!)

OWC’s prices are competitive, but what really sets them apart (in my opinion) is that they have a friendly, knowledgeable sales and technical staff who really understands technology. They know what they are talking about. They also have a live chat system where you can ask them questions, so you can make a truly informed decision before you buy.

I take my computing very seriously. I’m putting my brand on the line, which is why I only endorse companies that I fully trust. I still have an old 120GB OWC Mercury Extreme (purchased in 2002) that is going strong. I also have an OWC Mercury Elite Pro, purchased in 2006, which I use for two external SATA drives. All the memory modules I have installed in my Mac Pro comes from OWC. Everything still runs great!

I hope that you, Dear Reader, will give OWC a serious look when you’re in the market for a new hardware purchase, whether its for your Mac or PC. I’m looking forward to a long-lasting partnership!

Thanks (as always) for your support!
