CompuKids Committee
Quantum Internet Services Dials in to CompuKids
CompuKids Program Chair, Bobby Keller, was recently informed that CTC's previous dial up provider was halting their service as of January 2010. With a little legwork, Keller found a new provider within the Tech Council's own membership coffers. Kevin Brown, owner of Quantum Internet Services. Inc. in Manchester, Maryland has graciously offered to provide CompuKids recipients one year of free dial-up service. The Tech Council extends a sincere "Thank You" to Kevin and Quantum Internet Services.
