Help with computer problems
Although the Senior Surfers Computer Club is not a repair shop, we help members figure out how to best use these magic boxes and what to do if they do not do what one expects. If you are interested in learning, the Senior Surfers Computer Club is the right place.
We also realize that some people are not interested in the hows or whys. (But these folks generally do not belong to our computer club!) For those who want others to work on their computer problems, here are some shops we know about:
