Busy is good…

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Apologies for our lack of blog updates of late, but we’ve been busy.  Individuals and small businesses are repairing and upgrading PCs rather than replacing them.  Given the state of the economy, this isn’t suprising.  We’d like to think that our increased activity is a sign of our quality of service.  Our customers seem to think so.

We’d like to thank all of our regular and new customers for their support.  Thanks also to all who have contacted us, even if we haven’t yet done business.

If you’re having a computer issue, don’t hesitate to contact us - we’ll work you into our schedule quickly and do what it takes to get your PC up and running smoothly again!

We’ve found the cheapest local sources for these (at least in metro Birmingham, AL) are Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Big Lots.  If you buy a CAT5 network cable or USB cable from WalMart, any of the office supply chain stores, or CompUSA you’ll pay about double the price.

These cables can be had even cheaper online, but most people don’t like to wait.
