Immediate Advisory Product Recall
Panther Computers is announcing a voluntary product recall that involves items that we have sold and used in building computer systems and repairs. In 2008 we purchased 100 ATX molex to SATA power adapters that are used for computers that have no or too few SATA power connections available from the internal power supply. It has come to our attention that these items may pose an immediate fire hazard, and we are reacting immediately to ensure the safety of our not only our customers, but of anyone that may have these adapters in their computer.
Panther Computers adds Avast Antivirus
Panther Computers is now an authorized reseller for Avast security products. Avast's offerings will compliment the AVG products we already offer as each has unique benefits that fit differing customer needs. We will consult with our buisness clients to help them identify which product is best for their environment. The Panther Tuneup and all new Panther Computers will continue to include AVG, but Avast will be offered as an alternative for an additional fee.
GUNNARS at Panther Computers
Panther Computers now carries GUNNARS high tech computer eyewear designed to protect, enhance and optimize your vision during computer use and game play!
Computer Shops and The Licensed and Bonded Lie
There is a growing trend in the computing industry for repair shops to claim they are licensed and bonded. The problem with this tactic is it quickly reveals the true nature of the shop and person you are dealing with. There is no licensing authority in the computer business like there is with roofers, plumbers, and electricians.
Fake Microsoft Calls
We are bumping this article back to the top as there has been a recent increase of these calls in the NW Florida area. We have one computer in the shop now that has been completely locked and is in danger of having had tax documents tampered with or "stolen. We've had a second customer relate that they have had no less than five phone calls trying to coerce them into letting the Indian sounding caller take control of their computer. Watch videos and more on our Facebook page on this an other computer scams.
Linux Mint Is In
Linux Mint is a derivative of the Ubuntu Linux operating system and has long been the number four home operating system behind Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS and Canonical's Ubuntu. With Ubuntu 11.10 Canonical pushed out the Gnome interface seeming to favor a mobile phone and tablet computer friendly interaction (called Unity) instead of the traditional desktop that most computer users are familiar with. For over six months Linux Mint has surpassed Ubuntu in downloads at Distro Watch as Linux users are moving away from Ubuntu because of this interface change.
"reloaded for free if you get a virus during the warranty period!"
After careful consideration Panther Computers now offers Linux Mint 12 as an alternative to Windows instead of Ubuntu.
Introducing Cymophane
Panther Computers is increasing its value to our customers by adding Cymophane to our Panther Tuneups and on all new Panther PCs. Cymophane is a gemstone that is commonly known as "cats eye" thusly the name of our new application to give you insight to information about the applications installed on your PC. The Cymophane shortcut will be inside the Panther Utilities folder starting 2/11/2011.
