Don’t You Wish You Could Block Fake Emails?
Ever since I got email back in the early 90s, fake emails were a problem. Sadly it’s only gotten worse over time. You’d think as technology got better and Artificial Intelligence improved (I’m looking at you Siri and Alexa), we’d have figured out how to know if an email message is legit. We’ve had some […]

The Smallest Acts of Kindness From Our Clients
If you’ve read our reviews on Google, Facebook, or Yelp, you’ll see a phrase over and over again-” they helped us for free over the phone.” We often help people at no charge over the phone even if they aren’t a client. We know computer repair is expensive, and if it’s a simple fix, we […]

Yes, We Still Recommend Backblaze
Backblaze has been our preferred automatic safety backup product for years. Recently they contacted existing customers to let them know the rates would be increasing. Compared to their competitors who increased rates while decreasing services, or simply went out of business, Backblaze’s price increase is modest.

We Can Help With Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) Phone Systems
A few months ago, we switched many of our phone systems over to FreedomVoice. We’re now a partner of FreedomVoice and can get you set up. What I like about FreedomVoice is it gives you advance call features like auto-attendants and phone trees for a small monthly fee. It can do faxing and even a […]
