History of Our Company

In 1987, Ron W. Stodden walked into the Effingham County Courthouse to register the name of a company that not even he knew how big it would get. The name he registered was M.A.S.S. (Micro Associated Systems Software). After a few years of preparation and some business from home, Ron opened his first store at 1901 S. 4th Street Suite 16 in the Effingham Lincoln land Building on February 10th 1990. While he ran the business almost all alone only a little help from his family the business just kept growing. In the year of 1998, M.A.S.S. Computer Systems became a Corporation. Soon after this, Ron decided that he wanted to venture further into the computer field. At this time M.A.S.S. only produced and repaired computer systems. Ron then ventured into the networking department and it soon became a success just like all his other ventures. With the company growing Ron soon had to start thinking of where to move his company it was just starting to outgrow the now 3 suites at the Lincoln land building. He soon found a nice location 1 mile north of the Lincoln land building and decided to change his business location. In 2002, M.A.S.S. Computer Systems was welcomed into its new location 306 South Fourth Street here in Effingham. After getting settled in for about a year, Ron decided again time to move with the never ending field of computer technology. In 2003 Wireless computer technology changed the networking field here at M.A.S.S. Computers but also brought Wireless internet to the company. In May of 2003 the City of Effingham granted M.A.S.S. with the authority to put up a 65 foot Wireless internet tower behind M.A.S.S. Computers Building. This tower allowed M.A.S.S. to link with the 350 foot tower near Wal-mart to produce wireless internet access to the Effingham area. In the early months of 2004 the internet service was ready to begin activating customers for service and is doing so ever since.
