Hi, I'm Jim Dika.  I've been repairing and troubleshooting computers in the Harbor Springs / Petoskey area for over 20 years.  I've kept up with the technology, and I'm still working daily to keep my customers happy with their computers, iPads, iPhones, and other techie gadgets.  I'm good with PCs and I'm good with Macs.  I'm good with other home electronics as well, such as TVs and home theatres.  I can run wires, and I can mount big screen TVs.

While I don't stock new computers, I do help my customers frequently with the purchase of new computers.  I'm regularly amazed at how much some people pay for equipment that they were talked into by some sales person.  Please be careful when you talk to someone who works on commission.  Maybe you should give me a call first.

I've seen a drastic decline recently in virus and malware problems.  This is a good thing.  I still recommend AVG Free as my favorite anti-virus program, and I still recommend keeping the extra toolbars and free junk off of your computer to keep it running at its best.

If your computer is giving you grief, I recommend considering a new computer, but sometimes the old computer is more familiar and less intimidating than learning a new computer.  Often it's more cost-effective to keep the old computer running.  While Windows 7 works great, Windows XP may still be a better choice for some people, and some computers.

If you have a new computer, maybe a visit from an expert will help to you get more comfortable more quickly with your new computer.  I can teach you some tricks, and I can answer your questions.

With the iPads and other gadgets out there, I'm seeing a need for help with upgrades and tech training.  Printing from an iPad is easy once it's set up and working correctly.

So if you're in need of training, or if you're having troubles with you computer or tech gadget, please give me a call.  Whether it's the Blue Screen of Death, or a crashed hard drive on your MacBook Pro, I'm here with the experience and expertise to fix the problems that computers run into.  Call me anytime, to ask a question, or to schedule an appointment, in-shop or on-site.
