PBase's Field Offices


Remote offices exist to position PBase's support staff members close to subscribers. The offices, staffed with help operators, equipment technicians, and data janitors, vary in size and appearance according to the specific user environment. These photos were taken in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. They are typical of PBase installations world-wide.

John Cooper has documented a PBase office on
a boat on the River Thames in England:

Dave, this gallery gave me a chuckle! With all the recent down time at Pbase I can well believe that the headquaters is an abandoned porta-potty!

Dave thanks for setting me straight on pbase. I've not been a member long but after seeing first hand their dedication to customers I feel I have to tell others.
Larry....very funny Dave
