Important!

Dear valued customers,

We are shutting down the computer services website in May (2024) as we move our focus towards software and video game creation.

There are no plans to continue the computer services due to increased equipment costs and the lack of public interest.

Tigarus' founder Patrick Spencer has been providing computer services on-and-off in the Yukon since 1998 as a certified I.T. professional. Patrick has been providing the services from home while he takes care of his disabled father. Now almost 40 years old, the property is up for sale. The computer industry has always been lacklustre in the North and now has become unaffordable. Plus competition with government funded not-for-profits. There is just no way to break-even says Patrick.

Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Support: How Often Should I Bring My Computer In

How often should I bring my computer in?

Answer:

When you purchase a computer, it is best to have it tested. This is for a number of reasons.

  1. The store provides a 15 day return policy. The first 15 days is the time to break in the computer, to know if it is working well.
  2. To test if the computer is dead on arrival. A small number of computers are damaged or mishandled before it was purchased.
  3. To have a baseline test record for future comparison.
  4. To refresh the hard drive. If a hard drive sits still too long, the drive slows down. The testing process will bring the speed up to normal.

We recommend testing every 1.5 years, or when you feel you’re losing control of your computer.
