MORE BLUFFS – They are getting common!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many customers (and myself as well) have been receiving threatening\u00a0emails claiming access to your system, planting viruses, got proof you\u00a0are into child pornography and the like.\u00a0 They are really getting common and I’ve seen more and more of them (and have had customers report them).
\nAlso getting more common is the pop-up window when you are online telling you Microsoft has detected a virus and giving you a number to call!
\nIf you do call they will CLAIM to be Microsoft – and thats when your problem begin!\u00a0 First they want access to your system then they want a credit card sometimes for a ‘lifetime’ protection against further problems.<\/p>\n

***** ITS ALL A LIE!<\/strong>\u00a0 NOTHING THEY TELL YOU IS TRUE (starting with them being with Microsoft)<\/strong> ****<\/div>\n

Your problems BEGIN if you respond to these!!\u00a0 I have some customers (I’ve very fond of all of you) who seem to be vulnerable – just had one call me after he got infested thinking he had a ‘warranty’ that would pay for virus removal – and it was the scammers who bit him a while back!<\/div>\n

\nNOTHING THEY TELL YOU IS TRUE<\/strong>!!!
\nNow to his credit he called me first – and I saved him from the nonsense.\u00a0 But their warranty is meaningless! and they keep calling you to tell you to ‘complete’
\nyour signup and receive your benifits!\u00a0 Its REALLY getting common and you can get these from ANY website even the big ones!<\/div>\n
\nWINDOWS 1809 DEVELOPMENTS<\/strong>
\nMicrosoft has started rolling 1809 out again as an update (again). This is the\u00a0one they aborted the release of a few months ago – because the upgrade
\ndeleted some customers Document Folders! It still should be avoided.\u00a0Reports are they have removed support from some older Intel HD graphics
\nfamilies – and obviously that would be a problem if you actually HAVE\u00a0one of those graphics chips! They hopefully will get things right soon,
\nAnd I can report – now – that the horrible issues seem to be better!\u00a0 I’ve had some customers get upgraded (without option!) and so far things are going ok.<\/p>\n

MOJAVE? READY FOR PRIME TIME YET??<\/strong><\/div>\n

Not yet folks.\u00a0 Its getting better, but there still are some issues mainly with the upgrade process itself!<\/p>\n

2011 Mac GPU replacements and liquid spills!\u00a0 WE DO IT ALL INHOUSE!<\/strong>
\nWe have GPU (graphics chip) parts onhand and we fix the common 2011 graphics issues on macs that Apple has declared ‘vintage’ meaning they wont work on them at ANY price!\u00a0 We fix ALL these folks (they are still nice macs!) and do it inhouse!\u00a0 Come on by and we will save your precious!<\/p>\n

CLASSES? I keep getting asked – so I’ll ask YOU!<\/strong><\/div>\n

I have been asked if we are willing to a class – and the answer is sure if a number of you all would like one!\u00a0 What would you like to hear about?\u00a0 A general Q&A? Specific issues?\u00a0 What I think of how the computer world has changed in the 50 years I’ve been involved?\u00a0 Let me know!\u00a0 I would be happy to see what I can do!<\/p>\n

ADOPTION CORNER<\/strong>
\nLots of nice systems on hand – I’m making up a page especially for\u00a0adoptions!<\/div>\n

\nHave a 2016 pretouchbar 13in with a very faint line down the screen but otherwise perfect.
\nVarious 13in unibodies and 15in unibodies.and Mac Airs!
\nA VERY nice 7th generation Dell Latitude – thin, and FAST with SSD drive, 8gb ram.
\nASUS VERY nice 15in gamer!<\/div>\n

\nNice 2015 27in Imac – we can fix them up with nice SSDs!

\n– and I have been most impressed! I upgraded one I bought last spring
\nand have now a dual Hexcore (12 core) 3.45 Xeon cpu, 32gb of ram, USB 3,
\na good Radeon R9 4gb graphics card, and NICE 2TB SSD drives. This
\nsystem LOOKS like an old G5, but its a screamer!<\/p>\n
