Year: 2014

We are officially open for business.  The roads are still a bit icy and there's a lot of ice and snow in front of the shop but we are open.  If you're dropping off, call when you get here and we'll come out and get your computer and take it up the steps.

Pending better weather, we plan to re-open at normal time on Thursday morning.

Vulnerabilities in these products not patched in the updates released on 8 April 2014 will never be patched by Microsoft. If you have sensitive data on your computer or network…

We are in the final stages of decomissioning all of our production web and email hosting servers.  In the process of doing so, a number of clients whose sites were hosted on one of the servers (DC3S1) received an email with the subject "Subscription event notification: The subscription term is about to expire".  These messages were sent in error and can be safely ignored.
