What's up now?
Jim installed an SSD in an ailing All-in-one computer. Nice! This week: Jim built a custom PC for a photographer and is planning phase II of a big install job. Earlier: I've finished installing two new domain controller Windows servers and a Sonicwall firewall security appliance at my ransomware client. We've wiped and loaded all workstations. Active Directory replication, nightly PDC imaging, twice daily shares image to NAS. Good luck to this fine group of folks. Thanks very much!  |

Ballard Computing Services Customer Agreement and Terms of Service |
Do you have a broken computer or laptop (2010 on newer) that you no longer need or want? At no charge to you, I will come pick it up (within a 10 mile radius), diagnose it, and give you a fair repair quote. If you choose not to repair, it's mine. I will securely wipe it, repair if possible, and find it a new home. No recycling center hassles! Recycle or repurpose, don't throw it in the landfill! Planning on getting a new Windows PC? For safe use on the internet, you’ll need to have it set up properly – personal data migrated to the new system, recovery media created, bundled junk software removed, firewall holes closed, Antivirus installed and configured, all critical software updated, backup plan and schedules in place; etc. A new computer is not safe for use on the internet until this work is done. I can do this work for you for way less than you may think - usually takes takes two days to complete. For fastest service, call 281-773-4772 or e-mail jimboballard@gmail.com Why are new cheap laptops so inexpensive? Is there a catch? New inexpensive laptops are LOADED with spyware. Spyware software creators are subsidizing computer manufacturers - they've got junk installed that you don't want or need. I'll remove this junk for you, help you get set up the right way, create recovery media for WHEN (NOT IF) the hard disk fails, and help you develop a backup plan. Please call to make an appointment.
