Introduction to PAB Computing

It's officially fall in Pointe au Baril Station, which means most businesses are winding down for the year. That makes it a great time to consider taking care of the IT repairs and tune-ups you may have been neglecting during the busy summer, and to prep your personal computers to keep you in touch and entertained over the cold months to come.

PAB Computing is a new service aimed at supporting business and home computer users in the Pointe au Baril/ Archipelago area. The work will be done by Natalee Brouse through Jamie MacIntyre's JFM Contracting Ltd. Natalee has been working in IT since 2008 and worked in technical roles for such companies as Microsoft, Staples, and Wajax Power Systems.

Some of the services being offered are as follows:

• Installing and recovering operating systems (Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8 & 8.1)
• Installing and updating software and drivers
• In-home training so users are more comfortable with and educated about what their computers can do
• Adding peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, monitors, tv hook-up, etc.
• Tune-ups for slow computers
• Virus/malware/pop-up detection and removal
• Wireless and wired LAN set-up and trouble-shooting
• Data recovery and back-up
• Hardware repairs – e.g. replace cracked screens on Apple products, mobile phones, laptops, etc
• Unlocking mobile phones to set up with new service provider
