We use Zendesk as a support system for our customers. We use it to manage both parts of the business, the computer shop and the design shop. We also use google apps to manage our email, calendars, and contacts.

One of our frustrations with Zendesk, is its inability to add task due dates to our google calendars. This frustration is shared by many others in the forums at Zendesk.

Right now at MPA Computers we are thinking about setting up group training classes to help you get the most out of technology. Before we move forward, we would like to know from you, our awesome customers, what you would be interested in learning more about! After-all, if it doesn't interest you, it doesn't interest us!

Is your computer dirty? Laptop covered with smudges? 

Do you ever wonder what could be done to make your system faster?

For $29 bucks, we'll detail your computer and make it look like new, PLUS tell you where you stand on the hardware in the system. We will perform a thorough check on your system and give you the facts on affordable upgrades to get the most from your system

At MPA Computers our goal is to keep your computer running as good as the day you bought it at the most reasonable price possible. So we decided to run with this idea, and this is what we have come up with: our computer cleanup and inspection package.

Here's the scenario. You're chatting with a buddy. You've got something he wants. You are willing to sell it. Back and forth you go until you agree on a great price. Everyone is happy.

That is everyone is happy until he reaches into his wallet and doesn't have the cash. That's OK. He'll get you tomorrow, right? But, what if his good sense catches up to him, and he changes his mind before tomorrow gets here? There goes the sale.

All of this can be avoided with a new app for your Android or iPhone.Square lets you use your phone as a credit card machine. And it's cheap, too. The app is free. They even send you a free card reader so you can swipe credit cards. Best of all - no minimums and no monthly fee. Service fees are straight forward. Use the card reader and it will cost you 2.75%. Type in the credit card number and it will set you back 3.5% plus $0.15.

Here are the details:

• App cost - FREE!
• Card reader - FREE!
• No monthly minimum.
• No monthly fees.
• Cost per transaction - 2.75% using card reader. 3.5% plus $0.15 without the reader.
• Cards accepted - Visa, MasterCard, American Express & Discover.
• Cash is deposited into your linked bank account within a few days.
• Super easy to use.

What makes it really cool? The purchaser signs with his or her finger. That's just neat.
