Thanks for stopping by...
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. 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 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. If you or your company has a need
for custom Windows® software or HTML, FLASH® and JAVA® applications for
the web, call Joe and let's talk about your ideas.
For the past 35-years, I have also written a large collection of essays (JOE'S RAMBLINGS) and you are free to read them if so inclined. Just click here. They are compiled into Adobe PDF format and can be printed or saved on your computer. It's about 471 pages. Some blabbering is serious, some funny and some, just plain dumb. I essentially wrote them for my grandchildren so they might know something about my "thought" genes flowing in their little bodies long after I croak. I included a college thesis that I wrote in 1963 concerning how our brain stores memories and just this year (2008) I listened to a lecture by a learned neurophysiologist who seems to concur with my hypothesis I made so many years ago. It seems as if technology may have caught up with one of my crazy ideas. I don't say this with a "swelled head" but with modesty and a whole lot of humility. I cover some of my religious beliefs, sociopolitical challenges I currently see and some that I have seen in the past, pseudo-scientific things and even some super natural beliefs.
It is not a short read but rather a large compendium of my thought processes and I am quick to self deprecation. I include in the opening page a statement that admits I am a dummy and that my writings are not scholarly so please do not hold me up to being any type of intellectual. I actually had printed up fifteen copies for my family and a few close friends but at $50.00 each I couldn't afford any more. At least they are free right here and there is a huge reference section at the end in case something grabs your attention. 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 in a group named the Majestics.
