We car owners take our car(s) for service multiple times a year. Our car is a very important part of everyday life, and for many people, computers are getting to be just as important. We want to keep up with computer maintenance so we have a smooth running computer.

When you bring your computer in to be repaired, it can be costly. We are introducing a "Computer Service Package". This package is for individuals. With this package, we will clean the machine for Virus, Spyware, Trojans, and other unwanted items on your machine and install a protection program that works. Normally this would start at $200.00. You pay only $150.00 with this package.

Contact us if you would like us to update your virus protection or clean-up any existing virus or problems with your PC or Mac.

Windows 7, released on October 22, 2009, is Microsoft's newest operating system. Windows 7 builds on many of the changes from Windows Vista making them better and in many cases more intuitive while adding some handy new features of its own. Overall the new Operating System is faster, more compatible and less intrusive than its predecessor.

Can you upgrade? In order to run Windows 7 Microsoft recommends a 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM with a good 3D capable video card. It is very important that your computer meet, and preferably, exceed these specifications in order to have a good experience with this new operating system. In addition to meeting these specifications your system also needs to have hardware that supports Windows 7. Anyone considering upgrading should download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft's website and contact the computer manufacturer to verify drivers are available. If in doubt, don't shell out the money for the upgrade. You will likely lose a lot of time and pay for a product you can't use.

In our next newsletter, we will answer the following three questions:
  What advantages will you get with Windows 7?
  Should I upgrade from XP to Windows 7?
  Should I upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

If you have any questions regarding upgrading your computer to Windows 7 please Contact us
