Computer Software/Hardware Purchases Consulting
Though we chose not to sell computer software or hardware, we can help you discover what you need and even assist you in the purchase. The most successful long term purchases occur when goals for the purchase are defined and matched to the product you wish to buy BEFORE the actual purchase. Often, there are free or low-cost options we can recommend to meet your needs.

Diagnosis and Repair
With three decades of experience using computer software and hardware, we have uncovered a lot of problems and continue to be interested in unraveling these kinds of puzzles. The key is knowing when the solution to the puzzle is replacement of a component, software reinstallation, malware or simple clean-up…and when a new system is a more reliable and cost-effective solution.
"Aging in Place" Technology Help
In addition to the regular services we offer, there are services which we believe seniors specifically benefit. We aid seniors in locating and using software and hardware enhancements designed to improve how you see the screen, hear sound, enter text or move around the display.
