Our computer geeks on the Sunshine Coast deal with loads of new technology and often never have a problem in dealing with problems. A client of ours in Twin Waters has been having erratic USB problems with his old machine, so we he suggested we put together a new machine, have it installed, transfer all the necessary programs etc. Our computer repairs Geeks tried everything to resuscitate this ailing machine, so finally the client decided enough was enough and asked us to build a new machine.
We chose, what we believed to be quality components, ASUS motherboard etc. Put it all together, and it worked like a dream, the machine was burnt in for 24hours and showed no signs of problems. We delivered the machine, setup the 8 additional USB devices, and left it working perfectly. Except, the machine now randomly HANGS up analysing the USB ports on reboot.
The solutions to the problem was to head into the BIOS and set the "Perform Quick Boot Up" to disabled and lower the USB bus speed. After that all his problems have disappeared.
Trust the Computer Geeks Sunshine Coast to resolve all your business/home computing problems.

Got the technology.. why not use it
Recently our Computer Repair geek went to watch a movie at BBC in Maroochydore. The weather on the Sunshine Coast was poor, and it had been raining all weekend, so we decided that a movie was a good idea. Now getting to the Sunshine Plaza was difficult enough with parking difficult to find...
Patiently we finally made it to the cinema, only to be confronted by long queues, and hundreds of people. We thought we'd be smart and book our tickets online via our iPhone. We thought that by sitting down, logging onto the ticket booking system and getting our tickets, the pain of sitting in queue for hours would be all over in a matter of minutes. We thought we'd be smart. We were wrong...
The BBC hasn't invested in new age technology, they have no App Store application for iPhone's older than 3.2 and there is no iPhone friendly web application. Booking the tickets had failed through the normal website not just once by TWICE...
The BBC invests serious amounts of money into their normal web systems that they have forgotten about the emerging markets. A market that is more mobile has access to the internet from anywhere....
To cut a long story short.. we had to join the queue.... :( But technology should have made our lives more simple and less frustrating... somehow the BBC has made it more difficult and more frustrating..

So BBC call on our geeks to help with iPhone web development sometime.. :)
We’d be more than eager to help.
