Not many computer technicians would even look at an old PC that had been zapped by lightening. Terri brought it back to life nearly 2 years ago and it's still going strong! (Dammit - ha ha)

Approximate cost: $120

Well run business that was operating on both Russell and Macleay Islands. Good for internet services if you don't have a home connection and its not overpriced. Small range of computer accessories and a small game centre to keep the teenagers busy

Every town needs an internet cafe, especially if that town's an island accessible only by sea. Lanzone supplies Russell Island's residents, tourists and day trippers with handy access to the internet. Located only a short stroll from the jetty, Lanzone has 3 or 4 computers available for public use, together with cold drinks for sale.

Lanzone also sells new and used desktop and laptop computers, and undertakes servicing and repairs. A range of computer accessories are sold from printers and modems to cabling and assorted parts. Although I haven't bought or had serviced a computer at Lanzone, my kids can vouch for the replacement mouse I bought them for the bargain price of $9.99. Being able to purchase a new mouse on the island without having to spend the time and money on a ferry trip to the mainland was a distinct bonus!
