Is  your computer sick? Does it need “outpatient” care? Make an appointment for it with our team of specialists. The first six (and only the first 6) computers registered by September 1st will be operated on at the September General Meeting. To sign up your sickly computer, contact Richie Nayman at 914-739-0872 or email him at richienay@verizon.net.

We need to know symptoms in advance so you must download and complete the Computer Repair Data Sheet.  As with any hospitalization, you have to sign a waiver (even though our team is expert).  Our specialists: Richie, Jimmy, Gary, Jon and Jon, Jack, Joe, and Tony.
