KEEPING THE KAIPARA COMPUTING!


We welcome a new staff member to our Team! Dannielle Sumner joined us earlier this year, and she is the bright, happy face that greets you when you visit our busy store!

2009 has passed so rapidly! This year has seen quite a few changes in the computer industry ! Windows 7 arrived on the scene near the end of the year, and there has been a lot of people wanting to upgrade. People have preferred to stick with the tried and true Windows XP.

If you want to make our webpage your homepage, we have provided a link near the bottom of the page called Click Here To Make Us Your Homepage!   and this link will change your homepage setting for you.

We now have a page which gives the Tide Times for Baylys Beach! This will give you 2 weeks tide times, corrected for the main Beach, including the height! Of course, it is the same for Glinks and Mahuta! Just the thing for checking before you go to the beach!

Check out our Weather Page! The current and 72hr weather as at Dargaville is updated every 15minutes! Click Here or click the link on our Homepage! Read on for more info …! The station is based at Redhill.

As Winter is upon us, we have already seen many PC’s coming in with damage caused by power and lightening! Remember to not only turn your PC off when there is a storm, but also disconnect the phone line, as this is where damage from lightening occurs. The lightening travels down the phone line and ‘zapps’ your modem (or worse). Even better still, purchase an UPS (un-interruptible power supply) from us for only $179 and give your PC the best protection. This will also save your work in the event of a power failure, as it has a battery which will maintain power for up to 25 minutes!

We have some new ranges of wireless products in-store! You can now extend your home or business network with ease with wireless products! Great for laptops which usually have built-in wireless capability. As more and more people have broadband access and usually more than one computer, why not get the most from your network?

Worried about security in your shop or on the farm? We sell surveillance systems that can run up to 8 cameras and record either all the time, or when movement is detected. Infra-red cameras are available which work in the dark! Purchase one of these and you will also benefit from having another PC to use at the same time as security is being monitored! Pricing is pretty good, so contact us for a quote!

Gwt your computer running properly! Recently we have seen an increase in malware attacks on computers being brought into our workshop!  If you are un-happy how your computer is running, we can check it over and give it a clean-up! You can do some of the clean-up work yourself if you download and run Malwarebytes and Trojan-remover, you may get rid of alot of stuff your antivirus program will not pick-up.

Remember that we can deal with any PC problem you may have! We offer on-site repairs, but it is usually cheaper if you bring your sick PC into us for repair! Call first on 439 4315 if you are unsure what to bring in!

We are re-selling an antivirus/Internet Security called Bullguard. This is a comprehensive package that gives your PC the maximum protection! It costs $69 and can be used on 3 PC's so is great value. Renewal is annually and costs $49 to renew. More Info.


Computer Sales

The current trend in sales is more in favour of Laptops. We used to only sell a couple of laptops a month, but lately we have been selling so many that we have been purchasing large quantities of selected laptops. This has meant we can offer competitive pricing, and of course give the customer the support they need when purchasing and using their new computer!

We have been selling so many new computers lately – which is great for us, especially with the low prices available!  The only problem for us is that we are getting too many trade-ins! We usually service, re-load and test these units out and offer them for sale. We have computer systems that would be ideal for the kids or even a computer for the batch. Having trouble battling the kids or partner to get on your computer at home, why not get a second PC to keep the kids (and you) happy?

We are running a special on all second-hand machines! You can take a look at what stock we have by clicking here. All machines are serviced and re-loaded. They come with a 3 Month warranty.
