Island Musicfest 2015 Charging Tent
My Tech Guys are proud to announce we raised over $600 at our charging tent at Island MusicFest for YANA (You Are Not Alone).

We have been raising money for YANA whenever possible but the Charging Tent and Island MusicFest is by far the most successful  People are encouraged to donate but there is no requirement, but when they find out what YANA is and what they do, everyone donates!!

Its been so successful that My Tech Guys has created a sign to say that charging is by donation and we have a spot to say for which organization we are raising it for.
2015 Comox Air Show
My Tech Guys are proud to be Platinum sponsor for the 2015 Comox Air Show.

As a kid I remember going to the Abottsford Airshow and have always been a big fan of planes.  At 12 I was able to go for a crazy ride in an Ultralight Plane with an aerobatics Instructor, doing rolls and dives and even stalling the engine, and we were not able to restart it in the air. 

Well this years Comox Air Show was the best ever!! Lots of great acts from skywalkers, vintage planes, glider ballet, the Skyhawks, CF18 Demo, and of course the Snowbirds kept the audience going all day.  There were also static displays of various aircraft, military and civilian vehicles as well.  The performers also signed autographs with line-ups that went on for hours!!!

Thanks again to Shaw Business for providing Internet for the gates and Shaw GO, to Ticket.ca for their great ticketing system and all the Canadian Forces men and women we worked with to make it all happen.

Watch Bob Wells Jump with Skyhawks

A special thanks to The Canadian Forces Skyhawks skydiving team for taking me for a quick jump before the Comox Airshow.  It was an amazing jump and I feel honoured and privileged to have been able to go with you.

2015 Canada Day Parade Winners!!!

  CanadaDayThis is the 7th time we have won at local parades and it is still a big RUSH.  Michelle Wells does a great job designing the float and costumes, while Bob built his biggest float EVER this year on the back of their utility trailer.  Staff showed up with family and friends and we walked 5th Street to sweet sounds of Paint Your Wagon and Bonanza!!!   

 

Thanks again to all our customers and staff that make this possible and the thousands of people that lined the street to watch all the floats.

HOLD OFF on Windows 10 Upgrade
Some of you may have noticed on June 1st that Microsoft start putting pop-ups on your computer to upgrade to Windows 10.  This has to be one of the strangest Operating System upgrades we can remember, actually available direct to customers at the same time as us.  Our experience tells us there is a probability that printers, software and other things may not work properly after the upgrade.  That doesn't even take into consideration users that have to learn a new interface to do the tasks they normally do - changing their workflow.  In a business environment it can even be worse having a negative impact on revenue and employee morale.

So if you love bleeding edge technology and understand the risks of upgrading, then go ahead.  If not, then wait a bit to make sure everything is going work all right.

And if the never ending pop-ups are driving you mad, simply follow these instructions to remove the Windows KB3035583 update.

If you have any questions please call us at 250-338-4411
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. 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:
