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.

Reminder Cards

By PC Bits on June 19, 2024 11:20 AM
We have reminder cards available at the store for anyone who wants one with our new address and moving date on them. We also have maps with the new location on them for you! Feel free to stop in anytime for one.

Summer Activities

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

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.

New Grad?

By PC Bits on May 22, 2024 12:15 PM
If you have a new high school graduate, make sure their computer is set for college! Whether their current one needs a tune up or they need a new one we can help. We just restocked our refurbished computer stock. We even have a 2-in-1 with a touchscreen!

Making Minnesota

By PC Bits on May 17, 2024 12:17 PM
Hey folks! We just wanted to share with you something super awesome from the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS). They have a free activity book about the history of Minnesota and how awesome the state is now. It talks about the people who live here, the dinosaurs and megafauna that would have been in the area, the climates and natural resources, the lakes, the agriculture (including our amazing wild rice), and all the outdoor fun we have available to us as Minnesotans! This is meant for kids but I did order one for myself, despite being 27. This book is entirely free (including shipping for MN residents and anyone out of state can get one for just the price of shipping.

We aren't getting paid for any of this, we just want to share the MNHS and the beauty of Minnesota with everyone! Of course we wouldn't share something this awesome without giving you the link to get one for yourself. Order yours here.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Stories Foundation

By PC Bits on April 30, 2024 1:13 PM
Hey folks! When you stop in for your computer tune up make sure to stop by and talk to Deb about the Stories Cafe coming to Ramsey off of Armstrong. The Stories Cafe helps support the Stories Foundation, which fights human trafficking in Minnesota. They are selling some really cool bracelets to help raise money to fund the cafe. The bracelets are $15 and the quality is amazing. You can check out the Stories Foundation at storiesfoundation.org. Deb at Impact Accounting has 150 bracelets to sell, let's help her sell them all!

Thank you!
