A NOTE FROM DREW
Dear Fellow DAKonians,
So how big is a micron? Is 2.4GHz really superior to 900MHz for video and/or audio transmission? What's the difference between a point, pica, pixel and an inch?
Well if you're like me you're as interested in how and why a product or technology works as what it actually does. And, of course, the most important thing about any product isn't even what it does, but what it will do for you.
Unfortunately, we all have both limited time and limited resources, so in our fast-paced world we have to make every decision with care.
Enter DAK 2000. We are a different place to visit. You know, I just read on somebody else's website that, "As our catalogs and product descriptions include all of the information available to us, our website and our telephone representatives do not have any additional information about our products."
Well it's not like that at DAK 2000. I will devote as much space and depth to my technical descriptions as is needed to convey exactly what a product or technology will do for us and more importantly, exactly what it will not! But that's just the beginning.
I've added popup definition boxes so you'll never run into a technical word you don't understand and in the FAQ section, forget useless basic information only.
You're going to find a full-blown Knowledge Base that lets you ask YOUR OWN questions about any product or technology. Plus I'll make the manufacturers' manuals and warranties available whenever I can for you to peruse right here on the website before you acquire a product.
And that's still not all. If you don't get an answer you like, use our FREE 'eMail an engineer' to ask your question. And here's the best part. Not only will you get a personal answer, but your question and answer can be added to our Knowledge Base so that the next DAKonian will get an instant answer.
All this is just a taste of what being a DAKonian is all about. I'm trying to do things here that can't be tried in a physical store or catalog.
When was the last time you could 'talk' to an actual engineer, not a salesperson or a customer service operator? I'm testing web-centric ways to get you more information faster and in more interesting ways. Plus, this site is should be very useful and lots of fun too.
Useful and fun? Yes, hidden throughout the site will be free helpful tools to make your life easier from metric conversion calculators to pica/inch/pixel converters to free JavaScript programs to home theater tips to undocumented software tips.
And for fun, how about a free popup checkers game, free MP3 player enhancements, free home video editing software and lots more. It's like 'buried treasure' all around the site.
And, once you find something you can use, just bookmark the hidden popup"Easter Egg" and you'll use the tool/entertainment enhancer whenever you desire.
There's a lot more than products at DAK 2000.com. Look below and you'll find all the ways to make your transactions super-easy with me. From contacting us to checking on shipping and learning about our risk free trial and ironclad privacy protection, I've listed all the mundane things below.
But, you'd expect all that. It's the unexpected, the extra effort we expend and the extra things that DAK.com offers that if you've never acquired a product from me in the past, are bound to surprise you and hopefully delight you.

Sincerely, DAK 2000.com, Inc. Drew Alan Kaplan President

P.S. 35 years and still excited. You know in 1964 when I founded DAK 1, I was the ultimate audio tweak with 9 tape decks (long before the audiocassette). In '85 I introduced a 300 baud modem phone for contacting electronic bulletin boards.
In '86, I introduced and explained one of the first 8088, 128K PC clones. (Want to see the ad? It's 112K.) In '88 it was the first electronic breadmaker and in '91, I was one of the first to introduce and explain CD ROM drives to America.
I still get chills with each new intro and I hope you do too. And, the intros are coming faster and the products are getting better than ever. DAK 2000 is the one place for us all to learn and play.
