A Big Announcement for MCB…

January 16, 2017January 26, 2017 by Tennyson Boothe

2017 is a year of new ventures for My Computer Bytes. I already mentioned our new sister company Lightning Communications in the new year blog post. That means that along with excellent IT service you can also get a fantastic business phone system on the same network.

But we have even bigger news: and this is real exciting! My Computer Bytes is opening up a physical shop location! Yes, that means we will now be working on consumer electronics!

Since inception, MCB has primarily focused on business clients. But soon anyone can bring in their personal laptops or desktops for repair, maintenance, new hardware installation, or to plan a custom computer build to meet your needs.

Moisture Matters

September 12, 2016 by Tennyson Boothe

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about protecting computers from heat. Then it was the middle of summer, but now it’s almost over. This has been an abnormally wet summer, though. And the rain still isn’t over! Still, when it gets colder we will begin have sleet and ice. So how does wetness … Read more
