Your computer, in today’s world, is far more than a simple tool. It’s your portal to the rest of the world! Hundreds of millions use the internet on their a computer every single day to talk to their loved ones, stream hours of content, or just scroll their social media feeds. What’s really special about computers and the internet is that they’ve become a crucial part of almost everything that we do in our lives.
We’ve had a great response to our choice of a new charity to support. Lots of people have emailed us here at Computer Help NZ with messages of support for each of the three charities – 0800 Hungry, City Mission & Nurse Maude. It’s been lovely to read the longer messages that share a story of how these charities have helped you personally.
Some have shared about how their father was cared for in his dying days, others how they have been helped through a tough time. Others still about a tough financial crisis affected their friends and one of these charities was there to support them.
For the past four years, you've helped us to donate $8100 to 0800 Hungry through recommending our service to your friends and neighbours. Remember, we give $10 for each person you recommend who uses our service.
Please help us choose which charity to support now.

If you are running Windows 10 or 11 and use Edge as your browser, you may have noticed it’s not working. You’ve double-clicked on the Edge icon on your computer, but nothing happens. It just sits there.
Microsoft Edge version 105.0.1343.25 is the culprit (quite a mouthful!) and many computer users have had this trouble.
