Ada, Konawa, Stonewall, Roff, Allen, Stratford, Sulphur, Holdenville and Seminole. A Local Nerd comes to your door and explains it so it makes sense.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
The back bedroom with no signal, the guest network nobody can remember, the router hidden in a closet doing its best. Usually the fix is placement, and your plan is fine.
Slow, cluttered, full of things you didn't install. We'll clean it up, get it current, and set up a backup that runs on its own.
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
Some visits are all teaching, and that suits us fine. We go through it with you until it makes sense and you can do it on your own.
Photos, contacts, passwords and the settings nobody can find. We'll get it set up the way you want to use it.
Wireless printers are badly designed, and it isn't your fault. We'll get it printing and scanning and leave it that way.
Half of smart home gear gets installed by whoever sold it and explained to nobody. We make it work together and make sure the alerts reach you.
If something on the screen is trying to scare you into calling a number, that's the scam. We'll clean it up and show you how to recognize it.
Ada is a hub town for a lot of smaller communities with nobody local to call when the computer stops working. If something has been broken a while because there was nobody obvious to ask, ask us. Often the equipment is fine and only needs somebody to sit down with it.
We take our time here. If a visit turns into an hour of showing somebody how their own phone works, that was a good visit.
Our service area is measured in miles from downtown Ada, and the hourly rate steps up the farther we drive. That is 34 towns across Oklahoma, covering Pontotoc, Seminole, Hughes, Coal, Garvin and Murray counties.

Somebody two states away is worried that Mom can't get the TV back to normal, or that Dad keeps getting locked out of his email. You can arrange it for them. Book the session or gift a membership and we'll handle it with them directly, at a time that suits.
Send a NerdYes. A Local Nerd based in the Ada area comes to your door, with the rate for your address shown before you book. Remote help works too, for computer, phone and account problems, in one session.
For most things, yes. If the problem is software, an account, email, a phone, a password or a setting, we can see your screen and fix it while you watch. If it turns out to be hardware, we'll say so as soon as we know, so you aren't billed to keep looking.
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Ada, $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band and $145 from 50 to 75 miles, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work. Nerd on Call membership is $14.99 a month and includes two remote sessions and an in-person visit a year, plus 20% off anything extra. You always agree to the rate before we start.
Yes, and please ask. We take our time and we don't assume you already know what a setting is. Tell us you'd like to understand it and we'll teach you as we go.
We fix them. Slow, frozen, locked out, won't connect, won't print: that's the job. The one thing we don't do is open a device up to replace a screen, a battery or a part. If that's what your problem turns out to be, we'll tell you as soon as we know.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Ada involves or apply here.
