Our Computer Service
Peter Bowey's Background: (owner)
I was always into technology and gadgets, since the age of three! From the age of 10, I struggled to build a Radio using old valves on my bedroom floor. My Father was rather concerned that I would electrocute myself with the need for a 240 volt A/C mains transformer. 18 months later I had a music education listening to local AM radio station's 5CL and 5AN. There came later revisions, including a home brew AM radio transmitter. At primary school, I was soon nicknamed 'Marconi' after the famous inventor of radio (Guglielmo Marconi (outside this site))! In later years, I qualified as a electronics technician, and spent many years servicing radio's, stereo's, televisions, and two-way radios. In 1982, I bought my first real computer (a Microbee). I was hooked! In 1985 I shifted my work skills and training to include Computer Technology. I am still learning new skills even today... computer's keep changing.

Using plain english:
In today's world, new and advanced technology is growing to be very challenging; complexity is growing rapidly, and more so for the future! End user consumer confidence is being affected by an increasing 'low-cost' push-sell' marketing technique.

Comments from Peter Bowey - Owner Technician:
My personal goal is finding acceptable solutions to your computing problems & needs. I established this business with the prime focus to offer my own long term knowledge and experience to clients. This asks a demanding discipline of extra hours, not just retail hours, but 14 hours per day, 6 Days each week!
Note: I have committed each Sunday to my personal time given to God (through the life and death of Jesus Christ), to my Victor Harbor Baptist Church attendance, and my heart's desire to worship his love and creation - to us all! Pray with me for the needs of so many!
So when you ask for help, I can assure you are getting advice based on a extensive research and past technical experience. About 90% of customers came to me through word of mouth. I respect that the needs of my local customers are worth listening too!
