House Calls:
Please call or send email to arrange appointments.
I support all ages of Macintosh from System 7 to the latest and greatest OS X, also known as Snow Leopard, OS 10.6. I can troubleshoot everything from your email to video projects. I support the home user, small business, Macs in larger PC networks, and larger Macintosh environments with OS X servers.
Software Repairs
Let me bring your dead Mac back to life, keep it from crashing, or troubleshoot and repair a specific software or hardware problem. I also aid in recovering lost data and crashed disks - which are often recoverable with utilities I bring with me on site.
Hardware Repairs
Repairs that require parts can be made on-site if the part can be found nearby. If parts require ordering then it is better to have your system taken into my shop or have me return after the part arrives. See my rates section for hourly and flat-rate prices for specific shop repairs.
Upgrades
Do you want to add some power to your Mac or upgrade the entire machine? There are many options to add RAM, Hard Drive Space, and CPU power. Let me take the confusion out of these things and evaluate your needs. Often a slow Mac only needs a tune-up, which is far less costly than buying new parts or an entirely new Mac. I won't push a sales pitch leaving you with more computer than you need.
Backups
Would you like a reliable and easy to use backup system to prevent down time and loss of precious data? I can set up systems that will automatically backup your computer - depending on your resources and needs I can custom tailor the best solution for you.
Networking
I offer DSL, Cable and now WiMAX internet installations, wireless (WIFI) and wired (CAT5e) networking. Server installation, print and file sharing are all within the scope of my services.
Media Specialist
I have three years experience maintaining, ordering, and repairing audio-visual resources for the Pacific NW College of Art. I use these resources in my personal artwork as well. Video projectors, DVD players, surround sound, digital video cameras and presentation installations are my specialty. I can also perform as your AV tech along with equipment for your meetings/presentations.
Shop Services:
Larger repairs such as data recovery, major component replacements or full system installs are more cost-effective done at my office. Arrangements can be made to drop off your computer or for a small fee I can pick up/drop off your system. See my rates section for hourly and flat-rate prices for specific shop repairs.
Tutoring / Training:
I approach tutoring from a non-techie point of view. Since I have an eductional background I speak in easy to understand terms. I work with all levels of experience, beginners and those looking for new skill sets. Lesson plans and outlines can be prepared for you or your work group, please inquire.
