The last time I travelled was in 2016 - shortly after we moved to Nelson. Running a small business isn't easy and I could never step away for a proper vacation for many years. Finally, with the borders reopening, travel restrictions easing, and the arrival of the dreaded New Zealand winter, I decided to go for a vacation.

Ilya (our employee who has been with us for almost three years now) will stay to help you with anything computer related. The shop will be open, but we will temporarily reduce the business hours. From now on, we will be open from 8:40 AM to 2 PM Monday through Friday, and 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday.

After that, we can schedule on-site visits in case you need assistance at home or business, or simply can't bring your computer to us.

I will also be able to help remotely (mostly to our business clients), however, because of the time zone differences, this might be tricky! I will mostly be in the U.S. Central time zone, which is 17 hours behind New Zealand time. That means I'll be available in the morning time only. My phone will be working but with roaming charges, I doubt I'll want to talk a lot!

As usual, the fastest way to get our help is by calling us at 03 544 1995, or even better, bringing your computer to the shop. Later this month, we will make a scheduling link available with some time slots in our calendars, but for now, just talk to us first.

By the way, at the end of May, we will also have the "end of fall" sale, with computers and laptops at 20% off. It will start on Monday, May 23, and end on Tuesday, May 31. If you have been looking forward to get a better computer for work, school or leisure, that would be the time!
