80s technology! #80s #retro

A client just forwarded me this video and said, "If you want to have a good laugh", watch this. Happy Friday everyone!

Four Old Ladies A man calling in late for work witnesses a car crash and the ensuing confrontation; he narrates the entire episode to his coworker's voice mail.

This wonderful review for our Nerd Adrian A Johnson just came in via email and we wanted to share it here!

"Thank you Adrian for getting my non-functioning laptop back in working condition; loading the operating system and cleaning up the computer. It’s like having a brand-new computer without all the junk files that have accumulated over the years. What a relief. Thank you so much for your quick and reasonable service.

$400 for a diagnostic 😱?! Not at Nerds! We offer $33 diagnostics when you drop off your machine at our location in Sebastopol. There is a 48 hour turn around window but you can rest assured we won't do anything extra or add any extra fees without consulting you.

We hope this gets your SEAL of approval 😉

IMPORTANT! 📢 DO NOT CALL THE NUMBERS ON POP-UPS 📢 These phishing scams are becoming more and more sophisticated and prevalent. We receive upwards of 1-2 calls a week from individuals who have called these numbers and it seems to be increasing. If you HAVE called, went through the process of giving these scammers access to your computer and fear your computer may have been hacked, give us a call for a remote desktop appointment so we can check to make sure there's no uploaded program. If the pop-ups continue, we can also help you out to remove them so you can rest assured that your computer and precious personal data can remain safe. When in doubt, call a Nerd!

Meet our Senior Technician, Matthew Lustig! Matthew has been with us since the beginning and some of you may already know him :) Let us know in the comments if you've worked with Matthew before.

Hello, My name is Mathew Lustig.
I work at Nerds as an I.T. service technician. I am the resident Apple specialist, but also work with Windows PCs, Android phones, general electronics and many other devices.

Much Like John, I also grew up tinkering with computers and electronics. After high school I took a job as a technician at Best Buy. While I liked having regular work fixing computers, I didn't like the focus on retail sales over customer service. I wanted the freedom to assist my clients in the way I felt would best accommodate them, not to pressure them into buying the products and services which provide the best profit margins for Best Buy.

I met John in high school. Sharing interests in computers, gaming and many things tech – we soon become good friends. When he came up with the idea to start Nerds, he suggested that we consolidate our knowledge and efforts to provide a better option for people who have tried the Geek Squads and the Apple Cares and left dissatisfied with the service they'd received.

If I'm privileged with the opportunity to assist you, I hope to provide honest, personal and reasonable solutions for your technological needs. If that sounds like the quality of service you're looking for, then I'm confident you've arrived at the right place to get it.

Hope to hear from you soon.
