IT Student Group Offers
Free PC Repair Day
at Boise State
Is your computer slowing down with
viruses, spyware, unneeded programs and popups? Having trouble connecting to
the Internet? Not sure how to install upgraded software or hardware, like a
larger hard drive or more memory?
The Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) student
organization at Boise State University will repair PCs for free from 9
a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, in the Lookout Room on the third floor of the
Student Union Building.
The repair fair is limited to the first 100 registrants. For more
information or to register visit
www.aitpbsu.org/computer_repair.html.
Participants should bring in their PCs between 9-11 a.m. and computers will
be worked on in the order they are received. Registrants only need to bring
their computer, pertinent software and any hardware that may need to be
installed; monitors, keyboards and mice will be provided.
Volunteers will be outside in front of the Student Union to assist
participants who wish to drop off their PC before parking.
AITP is a national computer/technology organization with professional and
student chapters. The second annual computer repair fair is the Boise State
student organization’s community service project for the semester.
The fair is free, but any donations received will be used to help send
students to the national AITP conference in April. The conference is
educational and also offers students the opportunity to engage in technology
competitions. During the past few years Boise State AITP teams have stacked
up well in various competitive events against teams from top universities
across the United States, receiving first place finishes in Website design,
student papers and systems analysis and third place finishes in network
design and PC troubleshooting.
