It's BACK, last year we had a very successful PC Cleaning Day at our Comox store. And are happy to be bringing it back.

On Friday August 3rd from 9:30 to 3 PM we will be dusting out all systems for FREE and completing a "complimentary system audit with recommendations".  

"Last year, we had over a dozen people lined up even before we opened the store!" says Frank Biermann, Comox Sales Manager, "We are on a mission to terminate Killer Dust Bunnies!!!"   

Although killing dust bunnies is free, we  are happy to accept donations on behalf of Y.A.N.A   

I know, I know it's scary to think that you only have 1 month left!!!

Do you have a list of System Requirements for your courses and need to make sense of it all?  Stop by one of our stores to have one of the friendliest geeks in town help you make the best decision.  

It's now been over 2 years since the first iPad was released and these amazing devices have brought a lot of flexibility and handy ease of use to many of us, but as many of you have learnt it's easy to drop them, crack the screen among other situations.

Now every iPad does come with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support.

But fear not, your Peace of Mind is here. AppleCare+ for iPad extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPad and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage (each subject to a $49 service fee) for only $99.99

iPad AppleCare Plus must be purchased within 30 days of your original purchase date, so come down to My Tech Guys Courtenay and see our "Gaming Geek" John Fleming to get this done. 

OS X Mountain Lion is now available from the Mac App Store for $19.99 as an upgrade from Lion or Snow Leopard.

OS X Server is now available from the Mac App Store for $19.99 and requires Mountain Lion.

 Contact us before attempting an upgrade on your own to make sure you data is backed up and your system meets minimum requirements.  OUr friendly geeks will let you know the differences of Mountain Lion and why you would want to upgrade (or not).

Most of us are familiar with the little pop-ups we get asking us to install updates.  While they only take a few minutes to complete, many of us are guilty of postponing them or just ignoring them completely. But keeping up with these computer updates is actually very important when it comes to having a healthy and secure computer. These updates are just as important as having an anti-virus program. 

 Some of the most common updates are:

• Windows or Apple OS updates
• Java (Update to the latest Version 7) 
• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• Adobe Flash Player
• Microsoft Office
• Simply Accounting / Quickbooks 
• iTunes
