Mobile Computer Guy now has own office

MILFORD - The Mobile Computer Guy is still mobile, but he has a new base of operations. After running his business from home since his February start-up, Randy Noll has moved to a second-floor office at 235 Main St.

Service, however, still includes visits to a client's home or place of work.

"We began taking calls from people asking if they could drop off their PC or laptop," Noll said.

At the new office in the Old Milford Building, customers can drop in to learn more and schedule a technician visit, or can bring in a computer for service.
