Ponywagon Computers Information

People often ask where we came up with the name of Ponywagon.com. Here's how it goes: Cathy, Micky's wife, loves to go horseback riding and when she sees horses out grazing or when she talks about them, she calls them "ponies". One day Cathy was getting ready to go for a ride and Micky stated, "Are you taking the pony wagon?", wondering if she was going to use the horse trailer. From that point, it stuck. Out on the road whenever there's a rig towing a horse trailer, we find ourselves looking at the fancy pony wagons and the ponies in them.

Getting site names these days are like trying to get a custom license plate: you really need to get creative. Site names are being gobbled up at a rate of 10,000 names a day (it's a worldwide thing). After discussing names a bit with Cathy, we decided Ponywagon.com would be creative and fairly easy to remember. Micky did a search for it and found it to be available, so we snagged it. We are a private site with two things in mind. (1) We are here to share our knowledge, and (2) to help utilize our troubleshooting skills by helping people with their computers.
