New York, NY, December 29th, 2009: With reports indicating strong growth in computer sales this holiday season and into 2010, iYogi, the fastest growing on-demand tech services company, anticipates a surge of setup and support calls from thousands of new PC and laptop owners after the holidays.

Compared to the 2008 holiday season, consumers are buying more electronics gifts, with sales steadily increasing 4.4% according to MasterCard Advisors. At the same time, research firm IDC predicts global PC sales will continue to grow 10.3% in 2010, suggesting that even more people will be migrating to a new PC after the holidays. iYogi services give these computer users the assurance of 24/7 technical expertise and assistance for over 100 software programs, hardware, networking and peripheral devices for an annual subscription of $139.99.
