“EverythingComputer really saved the day for me… My hard drive was really suffering. I knew it was going to go, but had no idea when. I was restarting my computer every few minutes just to use it briefly. I had checked with Microcenter, and a few local used PC stores to price the cost to buy a new hard drive and tower, but honestly, was totally intimidated by the idea as I’m just not that pc friendly, and not too wealthy either. I called on EverythingComputer and Oneda was so awesome. She replaced my hard drive for a great price and was totally flexible as to how we were going to be able to get together. She even took the tower in her car to deliver it to me! My computer has worked great ever since. You can’t go wrong with EverythingComputer and Oneda. The price is right and she is someone that genuinely cares about being fair and honest.”

“Just want to thank you for all your help. You have been a life saver for me. Any one who needs computer service whether they are novice (such as me) or computer literate will find “joy” working with you. You are timely, professional, friendly and fair in relation to cost of service. I would and do recommend you without hesitation to anyone needing this type of service. You may e-mail me if you (the potential client) need further confirmation.”

“In the age of ‘technological planned obsolescence’ Oneda Patterson is a pure and refreshing relief. I detest waste, and so when my ancient laptop went totally south from advanced age I called her. After working closely with my husband and myself to make sure we got all the information possible out of the poor thing she picked it up herself and went to work. She was able to salvage whatever parts and do some of her magic and got it in working order for someone who would not have had access to a computer otherwise. This is recycling for the age and a marvelous thing for everyone involved. Thank you Oneda for a caring and deft solution to a growing problem.”
Susan Jacobsen
“Oneda Patterson is probably the best IT professional I have ever found to assist me with my small business computer needs. She is extremely reliable, and will focus on the problem until it is resolved.
Being the former center for IT training for Regis University, I am very particular with whom I trust my computer needs to. She came highly recommended to me when I needed a full computer upgrade for my Gateway laptop. She picked up my equipment and delivered it back to me within 48 hours. I am now delighted with the performance of a notebook that I was considering replacing.
I was so impressed that I gave her my sister’s PC to work on. We had a project where we needed Oneda to retrieve information that was over 6 years old off the hard drive. Not only did she find the information we were looking for, she printed off all of the data for us.
Oneda does not stop until she finds the answer. She is persistent and approaches every task with a keen sense of urgency. She is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend using her services for all of your computer needs. I honestly believe that if Oneda can’t do it, no one can. She’s the best!”

“When I first met Oneda I thought how in the world woud this sweet lady be able to help us with our computer that had been moved from Colorado Springs to Denver Colorado and crashed. Oneda sat down and knew exactly what to do, I was amazed. Not only did she fix our problem, she came back to reorganize what we had probably messed up and didn’t charge us.
She is a joy to be around and so professional. Don’t know why anyone would not call on her.”
Andie Hubchik
“My hard drive crashed and the place here in Salt Lake City that I asked to work on it said that retrieving the data was beyond their capability, however we could send it out, and for just a couple thousand dollars there was a possibility that the data could be recovered. I mailed the hard drive to Oneda and in less than 24 hours after she received it, she emailed me with the news that she had managed to transfer many of my data files to a thumb drive. I got the drive in the mail, and have my pictures, four years of grad school papers, sermons since 2004, financial records and a ton of other stuff back on a newly installed hard drive (and am automatically backing it up to an external hard drive).
Oneda even e-mailed instructions on how to restore my ‘favorites’ list, so I can find the web sites that I use most on a regular basis. Oh by the way, it didn’t cost any where near the ‘couple thousand dollars’ that I was quoted.
Thanks Oneda!

Recycling Efforts
Donate your old computer and help make a difference for a struggling family! Stride is a local metro-area nonprofit that helps families achieve economic self-sufficiency. They accept all PCs 500MHz or faster, Pentium III or newer and all of the associated parts, working or not. (No dead monitors please — they can’t fix those!) Their team of volunteers will refurbish your PC (completely cleaning off all of your private data and software) and send it home with an underprivileged family right here in the Denver metro area. Your old PC could help a child do his homework, a single mother write her resume, or an underemployed adult learn new skills. Imagine what a disadvantage it would be to not have a computer at home — let them put your old computer to work for a family that can’t afford one!
Stride is a tax deductible organization with a 501-C3 designation. You can read more about them at http://www.stride-co.org/ . Donations can be dropped off at Stride’s office, 5400 W Cedar Ave in Lakewood during regular business hours, or they can arrange pickup for large donations.

Remote Support

Comments from a customer in Utah…
“…I’m in Utah, and just bought an HP mini. Oneda is in Colorado and is a computer whiz. We set the tentative time through e-mail, then she called, had me type in a URL, and somehow she managed to ‘remote,’ clear off all those trial programs and the junk that starts up when the computer boots, (the stuff computer companies put on new computers to sucker you in) plus she installed a bunch of stuff that I actually use (remember, minis don’t come with a CD drive so it’s problematic). Anyway, the *nice* little machine that I purchased, is now a *great* little machine that actually meets our needs rather than just look pretty and stroke the ego of some marketing guru. Thanks Oneda!”
