Computer Repair over the Holidays

... when it was needed most, my computer died, strangled by a virulent virus which squeezed it's innards so violently it erased not only all my games and pictures but also records and paperwork without which I was pretty much stuck up the proverbial creek without an oar.

 

I went ballistic for a day or two before awakening to the reality of my distressing situation; over four years of irreplaceable paperwork was down the drain, along with my big plans to finally begin writing again,

 

All of MY *"hometown techies" here in Illinois…. were unavailable.

Problems accessing Gmail from iPhone

This tip was sent in from a helpful friend of ours:

To make sure I was not spam and a human.
Awesome,

Henry takes charge of local technology business

Mike Henry, a lifelong Iowa Falls resident, was recently named manager of HomeTown Tech on Washington Avenue. Henry said he’s excited to be able to offer his expertise to customers of the business. BY COREY MEINTS mmeints@iafalls.com

Mike Henry isn’t like a lot of other soon-to-be college graduates. He knows where he’s going to be. He’s already there, in fact. The Iowa Falls native was recently hired to take over managerial and other duties at HomeTown Tech. The local computer repair, services and accessories shop at 420 Washington Ave., in Iowa Falls, was opened last September by Mike Erps.

I dropped my iPhone and the screen broke!

First off - I'm sorry.  That shiny new phone doesn't do a whole lot of good when you can barely read the screen.  At least the screen still shows a picture and the touch functions work, right?  Turns out it would have been a good idea to get a small case after all...  People have been very happy with this iPhone 4 slim case.

What People Say:

Colton clearly has been the greatest computer tech to visit our house!  He was very, very helpful.  Getting us back in business so quickly is truly remarkable, and we are glad that he was able to retrieve everything from our dead laptop.

With you, I always know my computer is in good hands.  That's one less thing I have to worry about.

 

-Margaret, Ames IA

"Boy, I can't tell you how great Colton is.  I went looking for a new laptop and it's a jungle out there.  He really helped me out!"

-Bill, Iowa City

Mike,  thank you!!    I am amazed at how things look on the big screen.

-Susie, Iowa Falls

"I was pleased to find that they were "Holding Court" at Cafe Diem. They listened to me and educated me on the way the system works and then presented possible fixes. Their knowledge is very complete and very effective. My background is in computer systems and I can't keep up with all the changes like these fellows do. I recommend them every time the topic of computers comes about among my friends."

 

-Rog Parmenter, Ames

"A hearty thanks to Tony for the terrific presentation that he gave in Ames. He educated us in the importance of Internet safety. His talk allowed even the least computer savvy person to gain information and provided helpful hints to members that use computers regularly. We appreciate all the time and effort he put into it."

-Jayne, Ames
