Satellite Communications instructor Jim Grace, right, checks on the setup status of his new laptop with Mitchell Technical Institute computer support specialists Andy Erickson, left, of Emery, and Dustin Qubik, of Mitchell. The techs handle technical support for the computers of about 1,200 students and instructors at the technical college, daily dealing with broken screens, computer virus cleanup and software installations. Qubik joked that they sometimes handle requests for personal advice from students who misinterpret their office’s “Help Desk” sign. (Ross Dolan/Republic)
