| "Reece made the extra effort and clearly demonstrated their company's commitment to the environment, and the overall health and well being of their employees - as well as the community at large. The tremendous success of Reece Computer Systems serves as a fine example to other companies that long term success extends beyond the quarterly bottom line." |

| "Running a small business is challenging and a lot of work. It requires the wearing of many hats and sometimes they fall off! A whole new world opened up to me when I started working with Reece Computer Systems. Now my small business has systems in place and the technical equipment and support to go global if I want. I know that I can call on Reece ANY TIME and a live person will answer the phone and help me, even if my question is basic. I run a small farm, and I have to conserve water and other natural resources, farming with integrity and a care for the earth. Reece have risen above and beyond what they are extremely good at and have taken their business to the next level by going green, leading the way by investing in being conscious about the environment. I work with Reece not only because of their computer knowledge, customer service and skill, but because they care about the same things I do and are making a difference in our community by the choices they make." |

| "Reece Computer Systems stabilized our network systems at a time when we were poised for tremendous growth and expansion. We have a diverse creative network environment – including OSx (MacIntosh), Windows 2003, run our own Exchange messaging environment and support our own communication and collaboration servers for our clients and for us. We support a great number of transactions. RCS’s ability to provide local, responsive, and high technology service, at the right price, helped us to grow our business quickly and efficiently." |

| "Our 40 year old Corporation dissolved on 12/31/04 and our new Company opened its doors on 1/1/05. We didn’t have time to skip a beat. We had to build our technical infrastructure and be up and running quickly.
I immediately called Randy Reece of Reece Computer Systems for assistance. Without taking hours of discussion, he asked some pertinent questions, assessed our needs, proposed a solution and immediately went to work to design an office network to fit our needs. He and his team found a server, routers, assessed existing computers and advised us on replacements, ran the cables, set up our business network with features we needed to run our business and we were operational within days.
In the past two years, we have needed emergency assistance with various computer, network or software issues and Randy’s team has always been accessible and quick to respond; even after hours. His responses always took in to account cost saving solutions for which we continue to be grateful.
Having Reece Computers as our IT experts has significantly helped our operations and provided confidence that we are secure and kept up to date on all our computer operations.

| "Since 2004, Reece Computer Systems has provided our school
district with expertise and cost-effective ways to support
our students, teachers and staff. Through Reece’s generous
non-profit rates and their community minded spirit, we have
received invaluable services to help our small district
survive and thrive in tough financial times. The Reece team
is extremely trustworthy and responsive to our needs. They
have kept 170 Macs, 150 PCs, and 5 windows servers at our
four schools and district office up and running--all this on
a very lean budget. Reece helped us to develop School
Central, our network which allows parents, students and the
community to communicate easily with teachers and
administrators at the school. This network links them to
important messages, homework, notes, and some of our key
educational systems. Reece is currently recabling our school
sites as part of the District Renovation Project, providing
cut rate prices to enable our success. We are grateful to
have found such a valued partner." |

| "SmarterBackup automated the backup of our inventory, cost accounting and other business systems. With just the touch of a button at the end of the day, our information is safe and secure – providing backup data that has been critical to us on more than one occasion. Reece Computer Systems also integrated our Edge database with QuickBooks, ensuring that inventory changes are automatically entered into QuickBooks. RCS is our single source vendor for all our IT systems needs, responsive to the issues critical to small businesses." |

| "We’re a small office, and want to spend our money on growing our business – not on fixing problems. Imagine being able to operate a computer with fewer interruptions and hiccups, and being able to restore files quickly in the event of an outage. Now that we have learned about how to take care of our computers, we’re able to manage our computer systems much better on our own. Reece Computer Systems taught us how to do it, and left us with a complete Guidebook to keep us focused." |

| "Coastside Children's Program's mission is to provide high quality care and learning skill development for Coastside children. As a nonprofit with limited resources, we rely on State funding, foundations and community members to help us bridge the gap for our low-income families. We needed a new system that would streamline our reporting to the State and make us function more effectively. Reece Computer Systems provided a cost-effective and time-efficient way to upgrade our technology. They helped us find donations to replace some of our old equipment and they worked seamlessly with our non-tech savvy staff to implement new systems reliably and on budget." |

| "Reece's expertise with healthcare systems, top level IT expertise, and generous non-profit rates are instrumental in helping us to provide for the healthcare needs of local residents. Six months ago, CFMC had a 15-year old network with 15-year old technology that wasn't supporting a business that ran on technology. Our services provide a critical service to a community that's geographically distanced from the rest of San Mateo. Reece has upgraded our networking and our computer systems, and are now helping us with the decision on a new practice management system. No matter what our needs are, including helping us with language for grants, Reece is always there to help us to find the best solution, and to train and support us over the long haul." |

| "Reece Computer Systems developed the mobile customer training environment that is used to train our customers on high speed, high tech fiber optic switching networks. RCS was able to engineer, script, design and build the entire training environment in two drop cases which we were able to ship around the U.S. for training classes. Additionally, with RCS SmarterBackup, our training data and our production network were backed up and bulletproof. Because we have such a complex technical environment, a solid network is critical to our ability to collaborate across geographical boundaries. RCS helped keep our successful business running." |

| "I was thrilled to be part of bringing
Reece’s green retail store to life, and I love going into
their store to see what great new geek toys they have in
stock. It’s exciting to have a local coastside business
that offers computing items that are useful and fun. I
appreciate the fact that I can shop locally, while
supporting the environment and our local community. Even
more important to me is their IT expertise. The real value
to my business is that my computer systems are no longer a
mystery or the next problem waiting to happen. Reece has
transformed our IT system – we no longer have fire drills,
out of control costs, or down time from crashed systems.
Reece’s routine maintenance program allows me predictable
expenses, expert staff who are a pleasure to have in our
offices, and who provide unparalleled service with security
and accountability. Knowing my computers are handled allows
me to concentrate on the areas of my business that provide
world class service to my customers. I’m thrilled to find a
computing company that provides the complete package, and
prides themselves on providing superior customer service and
professionalism." |

| "The San Mateo Community College District has planned a
presence on the coast since the 1960’s. This is now a
reality with the opening of CSM Coastside at Shoreline
Station. The college is eager to serve this population,
and as community member, I am thrilled to be part of the
effort. Reece provided excellent service setting up the
networking and computing solution in our new facility at
prices much lower than commercial rates. We have also
signed with Reece to provide on-site support. They are
located directly below us and have the people, tools, and
expertise to maintain a working system 24/7. I am
grateful for their assistance and look forward to working
together. Their presence will also make it convenient for
students to have their computing service and supply needs
met in one location." |

| "We are very fortunate and excited to be able to offer
college level classes to our community. The cooperation
between CSM, Reece Computer Systems and Franco Carrubba, the
owner of Shoreline Station have made it possible for
everyone in the community to further their education and
will benefit the community as a whole. We’re very excited
about the new opportunities CSM brings to the Coastside for
the first time" |

| "I have been in the building business for over thirty years.
During that time I have learned a lot and seen a lot of
changes to the entire process, including the advent of
computers and computer software. Terri Reece taught me how
to use my computer, including project planning and
accounting tools, years ago. The training she gave me has
stuck with me all these years, helping me build my business
and impress my clients, differentiating me from others in
the building trades. Many times I think of her overly large
coffee cup and endless patience with the cowboy down the
road, and me trying to understand these new fangled gadgets.
And all the early morning “Help” calls. I have relocated to
Las Vegas now, but if I had my own airplane I would fly down
for her classes. Although software and computers keep
changing, I am still able use her services remotely and when
I am in Half Moon Bay. I am happy to have Reece in my life.
It is refreshing it is to see people putting more into this
planet than taking out.

In the past, I’ve dreaded calling tech support because of

Reece, people have been gracious and helpful. They give
information in welcoming English instead of inundating me
with jargon, and truly want to solve my problem.
