Your Computer Defeats You...Nevermore!

Corvid Computing, LLC, has opened its doors to serve the computing needs of the community of Gustavus.  The company was formed by local residents Nate Borson, Sean Neilson, and Phoebe Vanselow in an effort to meet the growing demand for computer and network consulting in Gustavus.  For those who may not know, a corvid is any of a family (Corvidae) of clever stout-billed passerine birds including the crows, jays, magpies, and the raven.

Corvid Computing provides a wide variety of computer, communications, and business services:
    * Hardware and software sales, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair
    * Support contracts and help desk services
    * Managed applications and networks
    * Web design and hosting
    * Content management systems
    * Data storage and backup
    * Local area networks, community area networks, and Internet connectivity

In the future, Corvid Computing plans to also offer:
    * Bookkeeping and payroll services
    * Computer rental
    * Printing, faxes, copies
    * Telephony

Corvid Computing is also currently working free of charge with the local volunteer work group created by the Gustavus Community Network.  This work group is focused on bringing broadband internet access to Gustavus.  See the group's Google Group for up-to-date information and discussions at:  http://groups.google.com/group/gustavusbroadband.

Corvid Computing is located upstairs in the Salmon River Business Center.  Their office hours are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 12-4.  "Emergency" after hours service is also available, for an extra fee.  Call 697-2810 to reach Corvid Computing (note: phone is not installed as of press time) or to access their after hours cell phone.  Also, check out their website at: http://corvid.info.
