Always Use Protection
Rated 5.0 Stars
Backing up information on your computer is more important than ever. We get a fair share of customers who come in with tears in their eyes asking if we can recover their data from a broken hard drive or corrupted drive. We can do surface level scanning to retrieve old data but once a hard drive is physical broken or massively corrupted, there isn't much to do More »

So here are some of my suggestions for the techie inclined on your Christmas list. More »

Hard to believe, but as of the 1st of this month (November) u have 54 days to get hoppin' and get your true-geek something they will love/cherish/adore/do flips over/... whatever. So, as I have in the past I have scoured the 'net and here is my wish list for the first 6 days... tune in on the 1st of December for 7-12... that should take care of the conservative shoppers who want their gifts ready to go well ahead of THE day and the last minute shoppers who always wait to see if the price goes down on Christmas Eve!!

You Sent What?!?
Rated 5.0 Stars
They may have thought it was funny, they may have thought it was flirting. But, they probably didn't think it was a felony. Whatever you call it; six teenagers were arrested and charged with sending and receiving child pornography. Which begs the question, why didn't they think what they did was a crime?

It has taken the place of the snail mail (pen and paper) due to the simplicity, cost and virtually immediate delivery. Anything from formal business correspondence with financial calculations to jokes to friends and relatives are being sent via millions of e-mail everyday. We all have sent these types of messages through our work e-mail systems but should we have? More »
