 "We will take care of your computer(s)"  

 

My first experience with a computer was in the early 1980's in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.  I was on staff with, Youth With A Mission, a worldwide missionary organization.  We had just purchased a Digital PDP-11 minicomputer and I was given the opportunity to help install the system, learn how it worked, train the staff how to use it and do some programming on the machine.   From that moment on learning about and helping people with computers became a major part of my life.  Besides Hawaii; Albania and Belize are a couple of places I have worked on computers.

 

Hagman Computer Services was birthed in the early 1990's and has continued since then providing a high level of computer services.   Services are provided for both the Windows and Mac platforms and include but are not limited to networking, wireless, training, troubleshooting, upgrading, speeding up, virus/spyware/malware/ransomware removal, setting up new systems and data recovery.  Our services are guaranteed, free phone help is available, emergency calls anytime and we have very flexible hours.

 

Call us for timely, reliable and affordable computer services.  We will take care of your computer(s).
