DotFoil turning focus to in-home computer repairs

Mar. 13—Walk-in repair for computers will end March 15 at DotFoil Computer Services.

During the pandemic closure, owner Jonathan Sandmel and IT project manager Mikal Moore reevaluated the computer sales and service business at 851 St. Michael's Drive that Sandmel launched in 2003.

They will close the retail aspect of the business and focus more on small-business computers and house calls for home computer problems.

"One of three home computers can be repaired," Moore said. "We advise customers on replacing them. We are supporting more customers in the field."

Moore is taking on more day-to-day operations at DotFoil while Sandmel concentrates more on his other business, Steady Networks.

Moore is adding another branch to DotFoil: Santa Fe Artist Network. The goal is to recycle old computers to artists, especially in the music industry.

"A lot of these computers are out of date," Moore said. "They are beautiful for people in the music business."
