November 2012 Newsletter 
My Tech Guys will be closed on Monday November 12th in honour of all those who served and died for our country. 

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below."

40 Under 40 Winner
Hot on the heals of being chosen as one of BC's top 40 under Forty, Bob Wells 
received a local nod by the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce as one of the Comox Valley's Top 40 Under 40. 
 

"It's really great to received this recognition, but it would not be possible without the major support of my wife, parents, staff, customers and the truly amazing community we live in.  I'm in awe of how many great organizations we have in the Comox Valley and really appreciate the opportunity to serve them" says Bob.  As Past President of CYMC  and the Strathcona Sunrise Rotary Club as well as an avid volunteer for organizations such as YANAChild Development and many others, Bob has really tried to give back to the community.

Updates, Don't Forget

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 7.9
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader (Version 11)
  • Adobe Flash Player 
  • Microsoft Office
  • Simply Accounting / Quickbooks 
  • iTunes
