Hello *|FNAME|*,

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us. On June the 16th DP Computing turned 30 years old! We started in 1993, an era when DOS was the main operating system and the fledgling Windows 3.1 was starting to gain traction. The Internet, back then, was only available to large organisations or via a dial up modem.

Over these 30 years, we have seen technology grow and expand in leaps and bounds over this time. While at university, David's honours thesis in 1992, was on artificial intelligence and it is only just now, with ChatGPT, that we have seen AI finally available for widespread use.

Despite many ups and downs, we have grown and now have offices in both Adelaide and Sydney with clients in all mainland states of Australia.

Thank you to everyone we have dealt with over the years including all our past and present clients, staff, suppliers and business associates and here's to many more years of working together.

To celebrate our 30th anniversary we are offering free dark web scans (normally $110) for the month of July. For your free dark web scan please email David at david@dpcomputing.com.au.

Cheers,
David Perkovic
