We are open, but please call us first before coming to our office in case no one is here. 218-288-5002. I do have a couple of service calls throughout the day, and one at the end of the day where I have to leave around 3:30 and might be gone the rest of the day. Thank you & sorry for the inconvenience.

Hopefully we get some rain soon and the dangers go away or at least drastically reduced for everyone in range of the fires.

We will be closing early today (3:00), and please call tomorrow before you come in in case we are closed then too. Several of us are in the "Ready" stage for the fire - so we are going to make sure we are prepared. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you for your understanding. 218-288-5002.

If you have Microsoft 365 Family plan, you may experience some licensing issues from Microsoft - sounds to be a bit random as not everyone is affected. They are currently checking into this and they will update their site at some point (next update should be around 10:30 CST). This is the Microsoft 365 (Consumer) licensing.

I have a customer who uses Mediacom that I had to call Mediacom about - and what the support told me is as long as it is over -20* outside, this customer (north side Virginia) probably will not have internet or phones because the Mediacom fiber lines cannot handle the cold - and they can't dig again until summer. Sounds like it might be intermittent. That's what I was told, I can't say 100% though.

Looks like Microsoft is going to disable 'Windows mail' on December 31 so it will no longer work. It's a garbage program, but lots of people use it. 😞
