IT Resources for Northern Colorado
Free guides, checklists, and answers to common IT questions. Actually useful info, no sales pitch.
I made these resources to help you understand what you're dealing with before you call someone (or to help you fix it yourself if you can). They're written in plain English, not IT jargon, and I keep them updated based on what people actually ask me.
If something's confusing or you need help, just text me. I'm happy to answer questions.
