About

The Computer Shrinks was formed to allow easy and affordable access to computer services to underserved business and home clients so they can get full value out of their computer investment.

TCS began under a different name--Network Technology Services Associates--in 2001. In 2004, Indy Pommers joined the original founder, Jim Beaucaire, to accelerate the business, and in the process the Company was renamed as The Computer Shrinks.

The need for broad-based on-site computer repair, upgrade and installation is clear--especially to someone like Indy, who has been in the computer industry for years, and is a competent computer user, but quite useless if things go wrong! In fact, the relationship began when Jim's NTS Associates Company was called to install Indy's business network and upgrade to DSL. With that being a success, Jim was later asked to sweep the systems of viruses and repair some damage, and then to consult regarding an "upgrade old" vs. "buy new" decision, and finally to install a wireless network combining PC's and Mac's. As a result of Jim's demonstrated abilities and attitude, the two decided to partner and expand the business. We know that there are a lot of Indys--and worse--out there, and TCS can service them effectively.

TCS is different in several significant ways. First, Jim and our technical associates are very experienced in a broad range of computer technologies, and understand the business framework of which computers are a part. We're not just fixing or upgrading a machine, but explaining options based an your present and future use of the system, so you make better decisions. Second, we speak English, not GEEKSPEAK, because our objective is to communicate, not to impress you. Third, we maintain low rates and do not charge for travel. This addresses the major problem of our clients, which is that the high rates and inconvenience of the past kept people from using the services, which kept them in a low-computer-performance prison. Specifically, we keep our rates low by using our network of part-time, non-salaried associates; not maintaining a store-front; not being part of any franchise operation that severely raises expenses that are always passed on to the consumer; and not having commission deals and minimum quotas with 3rd party manufacturers that compromise our recommendations. This formula has worked, as witnessed by the Testimonials from our happy Clients.
