Office Update!

by

Hey there!

A lot of people have been spending more and more of their spare time in front of their computers lately, especially with the whole COVID thing happening.

But what does someone who already spends a good portion of their days in front of a computer do with his spare time?

Well, this computer guy has used this opportunity of give the old No Ware Computer Repair office some much needed updates!

I’ve completely remodeled the lobby. Those horrible vinyl floors are gone, and have been replaced with a nice carpet. I installed new counters – one for drop offs, and one for pick ups and payments. I even gave the place a new paint job.

Check it out!

Drop off counter

Here’s the new drop off counter and client intake area.

Another look at the drop off counter. On the wall is our very first sign from nearly ten years ago!

 

Pick up counter

Here’s a look at the pick up counter.

 

Lobby view

Here’s a view of the newly tinted doors and windows from the lobby – so much easier of the eyes.

I even did some updates to the work area behind the scenes.

Framed pictures

Nice little sitting area for the occasional student doing a “job shadow”.

 

Workbench

The workbench even got some much needed TLC!

It’s amazing how just a little work can make an old office feel fresh and even more awesome than before.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour..

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to work.

2019 in review

by

Calendar
I can’t believe that another year is almost over. That means it’s time for another year in review. 😉

As I look back on 2019, I can’t help but to be extremely grateful for everything that it’s brought – the ups and downs, the new skills learned, and the exciting plans for the future.

In this last year alone, we’ve repaired hundreds of computers – both desktops and laptops, running Windows and Mac – for some amazing people.

We’ve removed viruses, stopped malware, and blocked pop-ups from computers of all makes and models, and all shapes and sizes.

We’ve successfully recovered data from dead computers, old computers, flash drives, floppy disks, and SD cards for many panicked and stressed-out customers.

Our Maintenance Plan has protected our client’s computers – saving them hundreds of dollars, and countless hours of downtime and frustration.

We’ve helped clients who were scammed by unscrupulous emails, pop-up ads, and telephones calls – securing their computers, and walking them through the steps of recovering what was stolen from them.

We’ve advised many clients on what equipment was needed to fill their particular IT needs, recommended software, and helped with setting everything up.

We were even awarded for being the top rated Computer Repair/IT Services company in Grand Junction for the second year in a row, and the scored second highest in the whole state of Colorado.

We’ve met thousands of new faces, earned almost a thousand new clients, and made hundreds of new friends this year

2019 has given us a lot to be grateful for, and I know that 2020 will prove to be even more awesome!

Windows 7 is dying!?

Windows 7 is kill
Spooky!

In just a few short months Microsoft is killing Windows 7.

Really?

Not really, but is going what they like to call “end of life”.

That sounds kind of scary.

It does sound scary, but what it really means is that after January 14th 2020 Microsoft won’t be issuing any more security updates for Windows 7.

Does that mean I won’t be able to use my Windows 7 computer?

It doesn’t mean that at all! You’ll still be able to use your computer as you always have.

Why are they doing this?

Windows 7 is almost 10 years old, and doesn’t fully take advantage of what newer, more powerful hardware is capable of doing. Making it less-than-ideal for programmers to create applications for.

Most third party software companies – life web browsers, and anti-viruses – will continue to support Windows 7 for another year or so after the official “end of life”.

What will happen after that?

Well, by then most computers running Windows 7 will be over a decade old, and probably need to be upgraded or replaced.

Your friends at No Ware Computer Repair can assist you in deciding which option would be the best for you, and even help you make the transition.

Call or stop by or Grand Junction office today to have a chat about this, or any other computer issue.

Thank you… Again!

Saturday Appointments

by

Clock
Hi there!

We just wanted to let everyone know about a little change to our business hours.

Starting Saturday, February 2nd we will no longer be open on Saturdays for walk-in business. We will, however, be available for Saturday appointments for computer pick ups and computer drop offs.

What that means is if you need to either pick up or drop off your computer on a Saturday, we’d be available on a by appointment basis.

The awesome thing about this is that we won’t be charging anything extra for Saturday appointments!

If you’d like to schedule a Saturday appointment to drop off your computer for repair, or if you’d like to pickup your computer after a repair is completed, please do so by calling No Ware Computer Repair at (970) 433-7454 or send us an email at support@noware.tech. We’d be more than happy to set something up for you.

Five Year Anniversary

by

“Time flies when you’re having fun” – Anonymous

It was five years ago today that we opened the doors of No Ware Computer Repair, with just a few thousand dollars and a commitment to be “the most awesome computer repair place in Grand Junction”.

We wanted to set ourselves apart by offering an expert level of computer repair service, as well as amazing customer support. The responses that we’ve gotten from our growing list of clients is nothing short of astounding, and we appreciate every kind word.

In that five years we been fortunate enough to service over two thousand clients, some of whom have gone on to become dear friends, and almost twice as many different computers of all shapes and sizes.

Without our clients and our friends, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you so very much for all the love that you’ve shown to an upstart little company in Grand Junction over the past half-decade.

We thought that it might be fun to take a quick look back at where we were five years ago:

Here’s a very early attempt at a logo.

A look inside our shop in September of 2012 – yes, that’s an extremely long longcat.

Thank you for taking this breif little trip down memory lane with us. After looking at those, it’s easy to see how far we’ve come.

And thank you again for an amazing five years. Here’s to many, many more!
