Description

Specialties

I specialize in Windows-​based desktop and laptop computers. I work with all makes and models. I deal with hardware and software issues, system performance, malware removal, part replacement, cleaning, wired/​wireless networking, and basic data recovery*. I also deal with internet connectivity issues and speak «Tier-​one-​ese» for handling 3rd-​party tech support calls outsourced to India/​Pakistan (so you don’t have to).

*Refers to hard drives that physically work and are seen by the system, but cannot be properly accessed or read by Windows (such as file system errors).

History

Established in 2006.

I started out subcontracting part-​time in 2004 for a small tech firm in DFW.

By 2005, enough work came in that I dropped my part-​time job at a game store to take it up full-​time.

2006 rolls around. Work is slow, payment from the contractor is even slower. Established company mid-​year, kept separate client list from contractor. (I’m such a nice guy.)

2007, I stop sub-​contracting and run solo from then on. I haven’t looked back since!

Meet the Business Owner

Jerry N.

Business Owner

I grew up with computers. My first one was a Commodore Vic-​20. (I feel old…)

I actually remember my father being the first in our neighborhood to buy a PC. It was a Commodore 8086, the first «IBM Clone» to market. It had a MASSIVE 10MB hard drive. We got it at Service Merchandise. (I STILL miss that place.)

My father’s hobby became a way of life for me. I destroyed my first motherboard trying to upgrade a 486 processor (before «ZIF» sockets… screwdrivers and motherboards do NOT mix.)

Years pass… skills grew… trained for programming in the USAF… medical discharge… retail work… tech work… back to retail after lay-off…random repair «jobs» for friends, family, and parental colleagues… move to Texas.

The rest is (in the) Business History!

«Cozy, good coffee, free WiFi. Much more laid-​back than Starbucks. Live music many evenings and a good crew that’s been relatively unchanged for years.»

Pizza

Jerry N. says,

«Great little Italian/​Greek restaurant. The gyros are incredible (always upgrade to double meat) and you HAVE to try the Greek pizza + $ 2 Shiner draft!»
