Sandpoint Computers began as Curtis Networking Services in 1997, and opened it's retail doors on the corner of First and Pine street in downtown Sandpoint in November. We have been servicing the North Idaho region's computers ever since. The three leading engineers are Chris Curtis, Carol Curtis and Dawn Linendoll.

Chris Curtis has been working with component level electronics and computers since the early 80's. He has been employed by IBM, Northrup Grumming, NASA, Compucom and Tate Engineering. He has worked on every type of computer introduced including Tandy, Commodore, IBM clones, IBM, and more. He has worked with Unix, Linux, Windows, DOS, and Macintosh. Chris is an amateur radio operator and a genuine expert who loves to tinker with new open source applications.

Dawn Linendoll has been working with computers since high school. She joined the Navy and specialized in computer operations, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer. She has been in management with Novell, Egghead software, Software Spectrum and early eighties, and is particularly good with Microsoft Exchange and Novell. Dawn prefers spending her free timeriding horses or playing golf rather than tinkering with computers.

Carol Curtis was a contract specialist in procurement with the USDA and the Department of Energy. She was the contracts manager at Egghead and later at Software Spectrum. She was the Bonner County IS Director prior to the department being outsourced. When Carol is not working she is busy with two beautiful children, Kelly and Shane.
