For many of us, computers have become our primary way to store and organize the things important to our personal lives and business. When they quit working it's amazing how fast you realize their usefulness and the significance of the material stored within.

A Computer is probably the most complex item you'll ever own. The first time I built (assembled) one I was amazed that so many tiny parts could all be made to work together reliably. Factor in the 'low price' machine and it's no wonder they break down.

With the advent of smart phones, many take for granted that their photos are safe 'in the cloud.' Most don't realize that servers get hacked and without truly having physical copies of their files, all can be lost. A home computer allows you to copy those files on to something you possess and control.

I offer practical solutions that make sense (cents) and I never forget that your stuff that's 'in there' is usually more valuable than the machine itself.

I also build new machines for those who value reliable performance that won't break the bank. I know hardware and why it's sometimes just the programing that makes it quit.

I also repair certain tablets, phones and TV's.

My rates are approximately half of what the Big Box stores charge-
