 | Software Installallation - Improper software installation
can cause your PC to run slower and waste valuable hard drive and
memory space, and increase the number of annoying "popup" messages. We
install software professionally for only $25/hr (1 hr minimum). For

| Hardware Installation - Normally, this is easy. Plug 'n
Play, and now USB, make installing hardware a breeze. But in order for
your hardware to work optimally, you need to have the latest software
drivers. Do you know how to find, download, and install them? And what
about hardware that has to go INSIDE your computer? Do you know how to
install a network card? Do you even WANT to? We install hardware for
only $35/hr (1 hr minimum). Here's how messy hardware can get:

| Viruses and spyware - These infect your computer. Spyware
shares information about your surfing habits with other websites, and
can hijack your browser, slowing it to a crawl. A computer virus can
destroy valuable data, and possibly wipe out your hard drive. And
we've all received at least one email about a so-called virus that was
actually a HOAX. Here's some more info about viruses and spyware:

| Wireless networks -
Wireless is cool, and usually works
fine right out of the box. But did you know that most home
wireless networks are unsecured? Your neighbor could be using yours
right now! Did you know that's a felony in the state of Florida? We
can setup a secure wireless network for only $99 (plus parts) or check
out your existing wireless network for free and secure it (if
required) for only $49. Check out this web site for more info on
what's being called "piggybacking":

| Windows updates -
Microsoft has issued thousands of updates to its Windows XP Home
operating system since its 2003 release. Most of them are related to
security vulnerabilities. Have you been downloading and installing
these updates? Has your computer been doing it automatically? Do you
even know? We can check your computer for the latest Microsoft updates
and patches, clean your hard drive of unnecessary temporary files that
can slow performance, and set you up on a regular maintenance schedule
for only $149/year (GeekSquad charges $125 just to show up at your
door). And we'll try to answer any questions you may have about your
computer, too! For more info:

| Repairs - Even
with proper maintenance, your computer (just like your car) will
probably stop working at least once in its lifetime. Hard drives
crash, power supplies pop - hey, stuff happens! We can fix it! And, as
a scheduled maintenance customer, you get a 10% discount on any
repairs. And we can usually diagnose and correct the problem RIGHT IN
YOUR HOME, so you don't have to disconnect everything, drag it down to
some high-rent store, and wait for it to be fixed - then have to
remember where everything was connected again! For more on repairs,
