In August of 2002 Stephen Surles (Founder, President, CEO until 2008) combined his web-server business (seavenheavens since 1996) and full-time I.T. work (IT Director/M.I.S. at a government contracting firm) and his part-time computer work (building, repairing PCs for Buffaloe(.com) Computer Center and Mitzi’s Little Dragon/MLD Computers) into his own ‘one full-time business':  Computer Medic, Inc. (at .org).  Mr. Surles sucessfully operated Computer Medic until January, 2008.  (A full-time [less-time] job offer was extended to Mr. Surles and he accepted the offer and sold Computer Medic.)

In January of 2008 MLD Computers merged with (or purchased) Computer Medic and Dean Wiley became the President/CEO.  In December of 2009 the ‘retail and repair’ business of ‘PC Computers’ had died with the ‘Global Economic Disaster’ and all day-to-day retail/repair operations (Computer Medic and MLD) were stopped.  Computer Medic, Inc. (the corporate entity) was dissolved.

Computer Medic (.org) remains as the ‘internet server’ portion of MLD Computers (web, email and remote backup for carry-on/carry-over customers).  It is ‘too much technology’ to try to explain how difficult it would be to ‘just change the name (DNS)’ of all of those servers.  We are not adding customers and if/when the last of the Sevenheavens/BeagleHost/MLD/ComputerMedic customers ‘moves on or fades away’ we will consider releasing or selling the computermedic.org domain name.
