What did they do with the old computers?
Helpdesk If You Need...Help
Corny, Lynn, and I get a little busy over the next couple of weeks. Please, please, please use Helpdesk for any problems or needs you think we can help you with. We do not find it unfriendly or impersonal. It helps us prioritize and expedite the process of keeping everything running. Of course, you can text, call, holler, send a smoke signal, or leave us a note, but using Helpdesk will be 100% effective. The other methods are less guaranteed.

Need to Dress Up Your Laptop?
Several people have asked about the smaller screen on their laptops and loss of a disc drive. There are products available to help you out, but wait a little while if you can. You might be surprised by how much you're going to like that new laptop. The links below are for items that will work with your laptop. Shop around, and if you find something better but aren't sure if it will work, swing by and ask Corny for product advice.

Keeping Your Laptop Updated
You've got the power! Try to keep your computer up to date. If you are unsure about updates or need assistance, Corny is always happy to help. Your machine should be running Yosemite, if it isn't, you can update it yourself or take it to Corny. It may take him about an hour for the Yosemite update, so make sure you have the time. Check for other updates under the Apple in your upper left corner. You cannot update the Mac applications (iMovie, Keynote, etc.), Corny will have to enter a password for you.
Yosemite
Gotta have it.
Corny
Ask him about his cruise this summer.
Updates
Try to stay on top of the updates.
