Services & Cost Sheet

Your platform, your identity, your machine — cared for.

Prepared for Jim Lindaman By Anthony Corso — computer service, web & care · Silverton, CO Dated Aug 18, 2026

One-time

Ranked by priority — what protects you comes first, then what builds on it.

1Faster, safer system
$700
Move your computer to a clean, private Linux system (no viruses, no surprise lockouts) — all your files, bookmarks, and logins carried over. Your old Windows is kept safe as a backup, retrievable anytime. Removes what locked you out: a firmware update tripped Windows' encryption into demanding the 48-digit key — the new system can't fail that way.
2Own your identity
$500
Your own domain + professional email (name@yourname.com), moved off yesdurango.com, key accounts transitioned. Your email, your asset. The urgent one — the domain your accounts depend on today is controlled by someone else.
3Memory upgrade — 24 GB, installed
$300
Triples working memory (8 → 24 GB) — snappy with many tabs and everything running smoothly. Installed in the same visit as the system conversion.
4Battery backup + surge
$200
Pure-sine LiFePO4 UPS, long-life battery. Your drive has logged 493 unsafe shutdowns — your current battery backup isn't doing its job, and every one of those events risks your files and wears the machine out.
5Hardware security keys
$150
2× YubiKey 5 NFC (one to carry, one backup), set up on your important accounts — phishing-proof logins that work on your computer and your iPad. No more password-only accounts.
6Personal portal & website
$3,200
Your own site + private dashboard on your domain: your listings hot-list, both inboxes, contracts, a custom news feed, and a daily AI briefing that summarizes your day — your tools in one place, working for you. Not a template; a platform. First year of care included — a $1,200 value.
7Town network node (mesh radio)
$100
A small LoRa radio that joins your computer to the community's own private network — resilient local comms that keep working when the internet or cell doesn't, and the base for unphishable sign-in later.
Secure remote setup
included with #2
Private encrypted link (WireGuard/VPN), firewall, and secure remote access so I look after it; automatic nightly backups mirrored to my systems ("your cloud, with me").
One-time total
$5,150

Monthly — begins at handoff

Someone keeping an eye on all of it, so problems never become emergencies.

Portal & care — one bill
$100/mo
Everything, one line: I watch your computer remotely over the private link, back up your files nightly, handle updates safely (so an update can never lock you out again), manage your domain + email, and keep the platform working — hosting, security, listing/IDX + news feed upkeep, the AI briefing, content refreshes, local SEO. No surprise repair bills.

Want a brand-new unit? I build those too.

Straight talk first: your i5 Dell is a stronger machine than anything I'd sell you at small-office prices — that's why this plan upgrades and converts it instead of selling you hardware you don't need. But if you ever want a second unit — for the office, a backup, or another location — here's exactly how it prices.

The unit I spec'd for you
$1,200
A machine spec'd for what you actually do — no bloat. Parts receipt included.
System build & migration
$700
Same clean, private system as yours: built, hardened, your files and logins carried over, remote care link included — identical to the conversion above.
Care
$50/mo
Joins your existing care plan — each additional machine under watch and nightly backup (per extra unit).

Why "own your identity"

Right now your email jim@yesdurango.com — the address nearly all your online accounts reset through — lives on a domain you don't control and can't move. Its website is dormant, and it's up for renewal by someone else in 2027. If it lapses or changes hands, you could lose your email and the way back into your accounts.

Putting you on your own domain fixes that permanently: it becomes your property, I keep it running, and you're never locked out of your own name again.

What this is really about

You get a professional web presence, a faster protected computer, and — the part that matters most — you own your own data and identity, with someone keeping an eye on all of it so problems never become emergencies.

Deposit to start the website; balance on delivery. Hardware billed at cost; labor and care as above. Thank you, Jim.
