Hello Sherpa Fans,
We’re almost through with winter, and we here at Base Camp are eagerly anticipating the arrival of warm spring weather. But with spring also comes April 8th, the date that marks the end of support for Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office 2003. Are you ready?
Wait – before you make the change to a new OS, double check that your printers or other peripherals have the ability to talk to a Windows 7 or 8 machine! You don’t want to invest in a great new computer, only to find out it doesn’t talk to your other technology anymore.
Greg and Patricia, our fearless leaders.

Hi Everyone!
Jess H here, stepping in to welcome you to 2014! Sorry it’s been so long since you last heard from us – we’ve been busy getting all of our great ideas and new plans in motion.
Windows XP replacement projects are going live (and doing great!). The Sherpas are busy testing and deploying lots of new and great technology products.
Just in time for the holidays, the nasty CryptoLocker is rearing its ugly head on computers near you. What is it? It’s a brand of malware, known as “ransomware”. What does it do? It comes in via emails that appear to be from Fedex, UPS, Wells Fargo, American Express and other big name corporations.

As our clients and colleagues upgrade their systems, we're often asked about what they can do with the old equipment. And we always, ask, have you thought about electronics recycling? It is secure, it can be low-cost or free, and you know your items won't end up in a landfill.
Our New Sherpas!

Fall is undeniably our busiest time here at Sherpa HQ, and for good reason. This quarter, we’re focusing on helping our clients get ready for the end of support of Windows XP. At twelve years old, this is the OS that most of us Windows users know the best (and love for business!).
Arguably one of the greatest operating systems Microsoft has ever released, XP will not have any future programming support officially by April 8th, 2014. If you’re running a desktop or laptop with XP, you could face vulnerabilities if you don’t update your machine to a newer system.
