Simple I.T is now a Scorpion Technology Reseller
It's not easy to get things on the island so partnering with a well known and respected I.T. retailer like Scorptec allows me to provide my customers with top quality products at highly competitive prices.
It's also easy to have either Scorptec computer systems built, tested and delivered to the island for a reasonable cost. You can be assured that when the system arrives it is working and, pretty much, ready to go.
Their staff are always very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. But it obviously helps when you know what you're after. :)

Great FREE Software Essentials
Product highlight: CCleaner and Defraggler
CCleaner and Defraggler are two fantastic bits of software that help to clean up your computer of all the junk and get it back into shape.
CCleaner
CCleaner is a bit like a mechanic giving your car a good service, changing the oil in your engine, changing the plugs and points and generally giving it a good once over.
Updates come out fairly regularly to update the database. Make sure you update it every once in a while. It's worth running this every few months. |
Defraggler
Defraggler is like someone cleaning up your filing cabinet and building a brilliant system so it's easy for you to find everything.
This software is much better than the basic one that comes with Windows. Updates come out fairly regularly to update the database. Make sure you update it every once in a while. It's worth running this once a month. |

TeamViewer connects to any PC or server around the world within a few seconds. You can remote control your partner's PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. Find out why more than 60 million users trust TeamViewer!
The best part about this software is that it doesn't need installation, it's just an EXE you click on, and it CANNOT be activated without you being at your computer and relaying the password to your technician. This is much better, and far safer, than any other remote support tool I have used in the past.
And, above all - it's FREE ! ! ! (you've gotta love the free stuff people)
Just make sure you keep it up to date please.

EVE Online
EVE is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMORPG) that takes place approximately 20.000 years after our time in a galaxy on the far end of the universe. When you join EVE you assume the role of a freshly graduated "Capsuleer", a relatively small group of elite spaceship pilots capable of controlling powerful spaceships on their own from within their capsules. Capsuleers are often referred to as "The Immortals" due to the fact that the highly advanced capsules they are connected to from the inside, are capable of instantly downloading their consciousness to a clone of themselves in the case of physical destruction.
You can try a 14 day trial for free. I think it's great.

HALF-LIFE 2 - $19.99 USD
1998. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's début title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.
2006. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviours even the emotions of both friends and enemies.
The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people he cares about are counting on him.
The intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source®, Valve's new proprietary engine technology. Source provides major enhancements in:

The intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source®, Valve's new proprietary engine technology. Source provides major enhancements in:
- Characters: Advanced facial animation system delivers the most sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial "muscles," human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence.
- Physics: From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy.
- Graphics: Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to create movies such as Toy Story® and Monster's, Inc.®, creates the most beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.
- AI: Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever is at hand.
