History

Established in 1998.

I started mobile computer services before mobile computer services was a thing. Originated in central California, moved to Arizona, and then to Hilo in 2006. Been working with computers since windows 2.1. Started out as a Macintosh tech, and moved into windows, and then later into linux. It started as a cheaper alternative to computer repair, which was at a premium during this time.

Meet the Business Owner

Paul P.

Business Owner

I started this business when I was 17 years old. I was taught a little about computers in California by my 4^th grade teacher, and took a real liking to how they worked. As time went on, and I made it to high school, A teacher there started teaching me the finer things of computers. He taught me about hardware, software trouble shooting and the like.

When my mother got her first computer, we found out what the cost was to buy and service the machines, so I decided I really wanted to learn to do this on my own, and save my mother a lot of money, so I took what my teachers had handed down to me, and did the best I could. We had an old 386, with windows 3.1 on it. had 64 megs of memory, and a 512k video card, man that thing was fast! But the repairs were almost $ 70.00 an hour. I slowly learned the workings and became really good with computers. I really poured my soul into it. One day I decided to open a business with much cheaper rates and try to save people a lot of money. And here I am!
