For years, The Copy Centers has offer computer rental service to its customers. Both Macintosh and Windows platforms are offered incorporating the latest technologies and all are pre-loaded with popular desktop publishing and office productivity software.

To accommodate the increase dependency and usage of the Internet of our customers, The Copy Centers has deployed SDSL (Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) connection, a high-speed digital connection, to the Internet. ChoiceOne Communications has been chosen as the vendor for The Copy Centers' DSL service.
