Tarsus announces great new HP trade-in promotion

Johannesburg, 08 Aug 2001

Get full PC functionality and maximum portability in a sleek package as well as a R1 200 discount on a new Hewlett-PackardOmnibook 500 from Tarsus Technologies, a member of JSE-listed MB Technologies.

"R1 200 discount will be given to customers who bring in their old PC or notebook and buy an Omnibook 500," declares Jason McMillan, HP business development manager at Tarsus Technologies.

"The HP Omnibook 500 does not trade off sensibility for sophistication," he continues. "Its magnesium casing makes it highly durable, while the rubberised surfaces prevent slips, and the cushioned palm rest ensures computing comfort."

McMillan concludes: "Like all HP Omnibooks, the Omnibook 500 comes with the unequalled reliability, performance, value, and support that distinguish the entire HP Omnibook family." The Omnibook 500 is the ideal notebook for the mobile business user.

Tarsus Technologies

 

Tarsus Technologies is the distribution arm of MB Technologies Limited - a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and one of SA`s leading IT groups.

The founding company of the group, Tarsus Technologies, was established in 1985 by Leo Baxter, and was involved in the development and sale of software before diversifying into hardware distribution.

In 1989 Baxter sold a majority share to M+PD Electronics, which was subsequently sold to Siltek. In the early 1990s, Tarsus expanded its hardware sales, and was appointed distributor for OKI, Samsung and Compaq. In 1992, Baxter bought back Tarsus, selling a majority share to Persetel, and in 1994 he took advantage of an opportunity for a management buyout and repurchased the company with Mike McGrath acquiring an equal share.

The company was now growing strongly, and MB Technologies was formed as a holding company to cater for the group expanding and diversifying its operations into new areas.

Today, Tarsus Technologies is one of SA`s leading hardware distributors and widely recognised by the channel for its service ethos, product knowledge, excellent support and channel focus.

With an executive board comprising Mike McGrath (the founder of M+PD and past MD of Siltek), Leo Baxter, Guy Whitcroft, Pierre Spies, and Jamie Scott, Tarsus` management team is arguably the most experienced IT distribution team of any company in the country.
