ABCOM Engineer taking Microsoft Exam

One of our support technicians is taking his Microsoft Certified Professional 70-270 Exam next week!

The exam is based upon Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

Here at ABCOM we are keen for our technicians to gain qualifications and strengthen their knowledge.

So much so that even our MD is looking into developing his own IT knowledge and taking the exam in the future!

Misspelling in GPS takes couple on 400 miles detour

A couple from Sweden who used their GPS to go to isle of Capri ended 400 miles off course and in the Italian town of Carpi after misspelling the name in the GPS.

According to BBC news the couple became aware what they had done when they asked at Carpi tourist office where Capri's famous Blue Grotto was. Apparently once they realised their mistake they got back in the car heading South.

In this case it seems that for once the technology was not to blame and the event was caused entirely by human error

Our response to recent repair shop scams

Here at ABCOM we were as shocked as you to hear about the abuse of trust taking place in some so called computer repair shops. We are pleased that this nasty side of the sector has been exposed and hope that it makes consumers wary on cheap uncertified repair shops.

In the reports engineers were seen going through private files, attempting to hack into bank accounts and misdiagnosing and overcharging customers.
