Apple Museum to 'Pop-Up' in Roswell Soon

Question of the Week

Have You Ever Been Hacked?

Those in the security industry say that being hacked "is a matter of when, not if?"

Will Your Computer Survive July 9 Doomsday?

Hundreds of thousands of computers could lose Internet July 9.

Centennial Students Build Computers, Donate

Centennial High School students helped to make this holiday season a little better through the donation of computers to needy families.

Students in the computer class at Centennial High School students built computers as a culminating project for the class, this past semester.
