Where to start
Email your show file(s) to info@westsidesystems.com with a description of what you need and when you need it. We'll get back to you quickly to discuss and confirm schedule and payment. We'll email the translation back to you, and archive it here on the web site for you as a downloadable backup for two months.
Allow at least a week. Rush service can often be provided, especially when scheduled in advance.
If you cannot find a computer with a diskette drive to read your console disk for emailing, try your local FedEx Kinko's.
