To Whom it May Concern

The Computer Co-Op has been the vendor of choice for the Montgomery Area School District for over five years. It is my pleasure to provide this letter of reference to any potential future customers. Their contributions to our success have been unique and unprecedented.

Their addition to the 2001 & 2002 PEPPM Contract will give other districts a hassle free opportunity to utilize their complete line of services. We currently have over three hundred Computer Co-Op Systems in use throughout our district. Their dedication to timely delivery and their expert technical support staff has been a huge help to me. When I have found it necessary to use their Return Authorization Process I have found it to be fair and expedient.

Due to the extremely competitiveness of the industry they sometimes cannot offer the lowest pricing on some of the peripherals I purchase. But as buyers you are well aware that price is only one consideration when choosing a vendor. However I have found that given the opportunity I can most times justify paying a few dollars more.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I have not found another vendor that can match the quality of the services I have enjoyed with The Computer Co-Op. I can tell you without hesitation that our entire department, in fact, our entire district has benefited from the relationship with Russ Bailey and his staff at the Computer Co-Op.

In closing if you are looking for someone to be a business partner and not just a vendor try The Computer Co-OP. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. My number is 570-547-1608 Ext. 145.

Sincerely,

John McNea
