Well, we're two months away from another exciting CFL season, and I thought it would be good to share this app with you. Now, I am more of a Saskatchewan Rough Riders fan (and so I have their app), but I figured they would be similar.

I was actually pretty impressed with this app and all the cool extra features. The biggest thing though that I was looking for was a section to listen to the games (as I don't have cable so I can't watch the games) and I couldn't find a radio option in this app.

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. Sometimes the automagic updates can fail so we suggest checking to make sure you have the latest versions of the following once a month. 

 Some of the most common updates are:

• Windows or Apple OS updates
• Java (Update to the latest (Version 7.17) 
• Adobe Acrobat Reader (Version 11.0.2)
• Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.6.602.180)
• Microsoft Office
• Simply Accounting / Quickbooks 
• iTunes

If you have any questions or feel its been awhile since you've done any updates, call us and book a in-home service call or remote service call 250-890-1065

Thanks for taking the time to check out our newsletter.  Always feel free to call, pop by our Comox or Courtenay stores, or send us a message if you have any questions or need help.

Sincerely,
