Tired of trying to fix that “useless hunk of tin”
that some call a computer, or need to upgrade to a modern, more
complicated version?
Worry no more, because the Watauga County Library has created
a panel of local qualified computer specialists who can turn those
mechanical frustrations into well oiled machines.
Representatives from Computer Works, PC Medics and DougNet will
be in the meeting room at the Watauga County Library Nov. 8 from
11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“It’s a chance for people to get their questions answered
in a non-threatening environment,” Jesse Tyner, senior technician
at PC Medics, said.
PC Medics, located off N.C. 105 Extension in the Carriage Square
shopping center, specializes in hardware repair, in-home repair,
building custom computers and offers advice for those who are
interested in purchasing a new computer. Its made computers range
from $400 being the cheapest to $1,700 for the most advanced.
DougNet, founded by Doug Franklin while he was a student at Appalachian
State University, has been serving the High Country area since
2001. Its focus is customer satisfaction, Franklin said, and its
business foundation is built on honesty, integrity, trustworthy,
loyalty, dependability and friendliness.
“I did service calls on the side when I was in college,”
Franklin said. “It started on a house call basis, and as
time went on my clientele grew.”
DougNet’s services include hardware and software repairs,
upgrades, consulting and custom systems, also offering services
with Web design and networking. A business that started with just
service calls has flourished into an actual company whose office
is located on 166 Furman Road Suite C.
Computer Works has been helping the High Country with its technical
problems since 2000. Its goal is to help individuals and business
use telecommunications and networking technology to achieve their
purposed goals. Computer Works’ services include installation
assistance, on-site training and post sale support, as well as
selling refurbished and custom made computers.
Attendants are asked to leave their computers at home and only
come with questions. For more information about this event, call
