Fun Fact Friday!

By PC Bits on November 15, 2024 12:00 PM
Did you know that the Earth has a song? Ham radio operators have heard it for years but NASA's Van Allen probes recorded the clearest version of it we have. This song is sung by lightning strikes and excited electrons running around the Van Allen Belts. The Van Allen Belts are two bands of radiation around Earth. If you want to hear the Earth's song you can listen to it here. You can also learn more about the Van Allen probes and the Van Allen Belts. 

Have a beautiful weekend!

Just as a quick reminder folks, we are unable to work on Apple products, computers, phones, tablets, etc. We can work on windows, Android, and other non-Apple devices.

Busy Busy Bees!

By PC Bits on September 3, 2024 10:25 AM | No Comments
We are some busy bees over here at PC Bits and while it may seem like we are running slow, we promise we are not! We just have many sick computers we are fixing up and we promise we are working as fast as we can!
There have also been several delays in shipping because of weather and other causes that the shipping companies have not disclosed to us so we may be waiting on parts for computers so please bare with us while we get those in.

Have a beautiful week!

Next Week

Please check voicemails!

By PC Bits on June 25, 2024 11:11 AM
We have had several people call us saying we promised them a call and we never got back to them. We do our best to make sure everyone on the list is called as soon as possible but we do sometimes have to leave a voicemail. We understand people are busy and have important things to do so, we try not to call a lot in one day. If we leave a voicemail we will try again the next day. Please check your voicemails if you're waiting on a call from us and haven't heard anything. We are moving at the end of the week so some things may get lost in the chaos, but we are doing our best to make sure that it's not a customer that gets lost.

Summer Activities

By PC Bits on June 18, 2024 10:32 AM
Did you know that most aquariums and zoos have free, printable coloring pages? National Geographic even has a whole printable coloring book! Most of them include fun facts, like did you know that sea otters cuddle to stay together as the ocean moves?
My favorites are the Monterey Bay Aquarium, National Geographic Kids, and zoowithus.com. I also really enjoy not having to find parking. Zoo with Us has a list of major zoos with links to their coloring pages.

Correction

By PC Bits on June 6, 2024 2:47 PM
Our new address is 12045 Hanson Blvd Coon Rapids Mn 55433, not 14025 Hanson.

Exciting news!

By PC Bits on May 31, 2024 10:56 AM
We are moving into a new space! We are moving the beginning of July to 14025 Hanson blvd. We know this change may be inconvenient for some people but we are hopeful that this new space makes things a little easier for most of our customers. The parking lot is easier to get into, the shops next door are a pizza place and a breakfast cafe so, if your repair is going to be fast, like a simple tune up, then you can enjoy some lunch or breakfast while you wait.


CCleaner Update

By PC Bits on May 28, 2024 1:43 PM
We've had a couple of people call in concerned about the updates to CCleaner and the missing registry button. You can skip that part of the monthly to do list, most of the time no one has any issues with their registry anyway. Otherwise, everything is good to go as always.
