My experience is on Windows based Operating Systems from Windows XP to Windows 11. I also provide support for Microsoft Office Products like Word, Excel, Outlook, Etc.and for most of the popular software programs and browsers used on Windows based systems. I do not offer In-Home support for Apple, Linus or Server systems.

While there are local alternatives for computer repair and service solutions, they are primarily performed by business individuals requiring an honest pay for services rendered as part of their income. I, on the other hand, am retired and am able to create a pricing solution that I believe will meet your needs.

Welcome to Desert Sky Computing

I believe there is a need in the Mesquite area for a reasonable price structure for local residents. My goal is to provide the best professional computer services and support at affordable prices and in some cases free of charge. There is never a charge for consultation to Mesquite residents. See the suggested pricing policy here.

I also believe that most computer problems, as much as 80% according to Microsoft, can be fixed by the home user. With that in mind, I have tried to develop this website with information that targets the average home user. Each of the most common issues are discussed in layman's terms with many illustrated with step by step instructions. Each possible solution also states the potential risks, if any, and how best to avoid them. But, fixing computers is not everything this site is about.

Just as important as learning how to use your computer is learning how to discover the wealth of information on the internet and the web. They hold an endless supply information on hobbies available to you. On every page you visit on this site I encourage you to explore the page by moving your mouse around to find all the links. Whenever your mouse cursor turns into a pointing finger click to discover new content.
