TekMate is a small Houston, Texas company that was started in 1986 by Joe & Betty Lincoln. Our mission has always been to help folks enter the information age with less trepidation and fewer worries. Joe began programming computers in 1978 and continues to write PC computer software to solve many types of problems in health care, business, recreational activities and scientific pursuits. Betty programs telephone systems and trains people to use their Lucent (AT&T), Avaya and Expanets business telephone systems, which often can be difficult to do considering the myriad of new features routinely being added to digital phone systems. We are a hands-on company and pride ourselves in maintaining a one-to-one relationship with our clients and customers.
Betty has over 36 years of experience with Lucent
Technologies business telephone systems. She retired
from AT&T in 1994 but currently contracts to Lucent, Avaya, Expanets,
Southwestern Bell, and over 15 other Houston area communications companies
teaching end-users how to program and use their new telephone systems.
She also programs systems both remotely as well as on premise for many
hundreds of large and small businesses throughout Texas. She has taught
thousands of individuals and was privileged to teach President George
Bush (#41) when he moved into his new offices in Houston. Betty is an
expert in using the Lucent/Avaya product line, Audix Voice Mail, Magix
and many other systems (see list below). She has won many awards for her
down-to-earth speaking style and has received countless letters of appreciation
from companies that she has assisted. A notable achievement is that throughout
her entire 34 year career with AT&T, she never missed a single day
of work due to illness or any other personal need. In short, she never
missed a day of work.

Joe writes software and beginning
in 1985 he started creating some Microsoft Flight Simulator® add-on
products such as FS-Pro, SeePlus, Airport & Facility Directory and he collaborated in a partnership with Laemming Wheeler to
create Scenery Enhancement Editor, Real Weather Pilot
and FS-WOW!. Their team created many flyable 3-D airplane
collections where the looks were perfect and the flight dynamics and characteristics
were very realistic as reported by actual pilots who flew each of our airplanes in real life. All of these software products have been published
(Mallard and Apollo) and sold throughout the world. Chances are, if you
were a "PC Pilot" and hobbyist during the
1980s and 1990s you have used one or more of Joe's programs. Over the
years many tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of virtual pilots have used his software
to enhance their PC flying experience and several of his original concepts
are now incorporated into Microsoft's latest Flight Simulator®
software. Another of his software developments is Appointment
Master, a full-featured appointment scheduling system with
accompanying patient data base support. Dozens of dentists and orthodontists
use this program to help manage their daily practices. Joe was an innovator
in developing the early touch-tone telco-computer interface software that
yielded such things today as talking yellow-pages, banking and pharmacy
transactions and even travel dialogs. Joe has probably written over 100 applications over the years - mainly for businesses. He wrote a sales application for T.J. Bettis Valve Company that operates a multinational manufacturing and sales firm and while he wrote their application in 1992 it is still in use in 2009. If you or your company has a need
for custom Windows® or LINUX software or HTML, FLASH® and JAVA® applications for
the web, call Joe and let's talk about your ideas.
I used to be very interested in music and wrote and sang a few songs. I taught myself to play the guitar and piano and in W.B. Ray High School (during the 1950's) I played & sang in a group named the Majestics. Click here to hear a few of my own creations as well as a very few of my favorite oldies that I learned to play reasonably well on the guitar. I played the piano (on weekends) in a few hotel night clubs in the Houston area from about 1968 to 1972 with a drummer (FBI Agent) and a bass man (Physician - Internist) and our music was straight out of the 1950's. We just played for the fun of it.
