Announcing NEW Service change updates! at Professional Computer Services in McCook
We've listened to you, our customers. In February, we changed our business strategy to a more personalized customer service that's easy & convenient for you. To achieve this goal, the retail building shop has closed.
Here are our new services that begin with a phone call to us at (308.344.8884):
1. REMOTE SERVICE - We've added remote service for existing customers. For example, it may be something like this: we speak by phone call, then we schedule a remote session. Of course, if your computer is non-functional, this would not work and we will chose option 2.
2. DOOR-TO-DOOR PICK-UP service in McCook. We pick up your computer at your door, and return it when service is completed.
If you do not live in McCook, we can meet-up or discuss options.
We look forward to making a more personalized computer service experience for you.
Tai Chi classes at the McCook Senior Center have paused for the moment. Have a safe holiday, enjoy time with family and friends.
Please contact the Senior Center to sign up for the next class.
Hopefully, you are aware of our new business strategy & services that started spring 2023. If not, please see right for more details. Questions? Please give us a call 308.344.8884 Monday - Wednesday.

Having your items in the recycle bin doesn't necessarily mean deleted---yet, and quick email cleanup.

Over time as we use our computer for typing documents, checking the pictures we take, posting comments or and send/receive emails, etc. Our computers tend to accumulate emails and other stuff. Information stuff happens. Thus, let's discuss a couple of things you can do to help with that accumulating stuff.

Yes, we can delete old unwanted files, documents no longer needed, pictures that weren't quite right or blurry, etc. from our computer. They normally end up in our recycle bin. Under normal default Windows settings, they just 'hang out' in the recycle bin and a lot of times a large amount accumulates. Sometimes we have seen customers who may have files in the recycle bin that had been 'deleted' years before. We forget to occasionally empty the recycle bin from time to time. Yes, there are some software tools that will help do this for you and that is good to run these tools periodically. So here's your reminder today. Empty your recycle bin, free up your drive space. Review it first if you would like to, but chances are they have been in there awhile.

Another common place for gathering stuff is our email. Of course we all get junk/bulk mail, and alot may already be filtered out through our internet provider's service which is helpful. Most of us are good about doing a quick review and then clearing out our junk mail folders. However, over time we get a buildup of received emails as well as sent emails. I try to go through these 2 folders as well. A suggestion may be to delete our received and sent items that are over 6 months old, or if you can, maybe 3 months, or less if you feel comfortable with it. If you need a longer time, try not to be longer than a year if you can. If you have business emails, of course some may need to be kept longer. Use your best judgment in this, again these are suggestions. Now that you have deleted those old emails, don't forget they are likely still in your deleted items folder (or Trash folder) and remember to empty that as well. Some email providers or web-based email accounts may empty the deleted items folder after a period of time, but while you're doing such a good job at cleaning up, why not just empty it?

Hopefully, you find these suggestions useful or maybe if you're already doing it--that's great, keep up the good work!

If you would like some help with this, remember our new remote session service we offer. We can help or "show" you remotely on your computer without having to move it. Call Professional Computer Services LLC at 308.344.8884 to schedule a time for a remote session.
