Backups and the Economy

I've lost track lately of 2 things. 1) How many hard drives we've replaced or had to wipe clean due to system failures, or user error. And 2) How many people I've talked to that are being hit hard by the economy.

1) Backups: We've replaced a huge number of people's hard drives lately for various reasons. System crashes, power failures, viruses, we even had one poor lady who deleted all her photos then defragged her hard drive. Then called us to recover her photos. We were able to recover some of them, but defragging permanently wiped out some of them. She was heartbroken.

Point being here is to keep backups. The most painless solution I recommend is ClubBackup.com. You get 1GB free and it runs automatically. It will back your files up to the web site and to a local external hard drive if you have one. You install the software and never think about backups ever again.

2) The Economy: We get calls several times a week from folks who are truly feeling the effects of the economy. It's bad folks - I know it is. From the bottom of my heart I feel for you, I really do. I talk to people who are close to starving because of a job loss.

If the economy is affecting you and you need computer help we will do what we can to assist you. We've been known to give away free parts and quite a few free complete systems that are 2nd hand. Parts like hard drives, monitors, network cards, CD-ROM drives, sound cards, microphones,... perfectly good stuff, just not brand new out of the box. So if you need help, just call. It doesn't hurt to ask. We keep a stash of parts for this very reason.

What's important to me is making the relationship with you. So that down the road when things improve for you, you'll remember ChristianGeeks.com.

If you are in the DFW area call and let's talk. (817) 605-1819.

I'll be praying for you.

Sincerely,
