Services Available For Home (Consumer) Users:

Pre-Purchase Recommendations.
We start with a Needs Assessment to determine purchase recommendations for your specific requirements You could be throwing your money away if you make critical purchasing decisions on your own or on the advice of a computer salesman (or even people you know who have been "doing it themselves" with PCs for years). Meeting one's own needs does not qualify anyone to advise others on how to meet their needs - some things are best left to experienced professionals. We do NOT sell computer equipment and do NOT earn commissions on any purchase you make, so you can be certain that our advice is not motivated by any desire to get you to spend more money than you need to spend. This is what separates a consultant from a salesperson. We specialize in analyzing a client's needs and recommending a complete package of the hardware, software, and accessories that will get the job done most efficiently. We will search for the best combination of price, service, and reliability in a vendor and recommend one or more vendors on this basis. You will get a "shopping list" of exactly what we recommend, and why our recommendations will fit your needs. We will also assist you in dealing with the vendor should there be any problems with your order.
New Equipment Setup.
The transition to new computer equipment can be both exciting and frustrating. We specialize in quick setup and transfer of data from your old system to the new one. We can also convert old files to be compatible with new software and even new operating systems and platforms (ie, switching from Mac to PC or PC to Mac).
New Equipment & Software Training.
You will invest thousands of dollars in new equipment and software. Why spend days or weeks of trial-and-error learning how to use your new equipment, when a few hours of consulting time can get you there much faster? We can even take your knowledge and abilities beyond what you could do by yourself in any amount of time? Time is money. Isn't that why you bought a new computer - to be more efficient? Whether we help you set up your new equipment, or you have equipment already that you are not utilizing to its fullest potential, we can help!
Single computers or networks.
If your household has more than one computer user, it may be time to add another computer, or to network the ones you already have. Networks allow for centralized data backup, sharing of files, sharing of printers (why buy a printer for every computer?), sharing of Internet access, and more. We can network both PCs and Macs to each other and to printers and file servers quickly and effectively. We can show you how to maximize the usefulness of your network to get more from your investment (and from your older equipment). Networks can make older or used equipment an excellent value by making them much more useful than they would be as stand-alone units.
Mac/PC Connections, Conversions, & Compatibility
We are very experienced with Mac/Windows compatibility and conversions from one platform to the other. We specialize in allowing Macintosh users to run Microsoft Windows and Windows applications on their Mac, as well as translating & sharing word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, and other data files between different platforms and application programs. Many of our clients have been truly amazed at our abilities to export information from old software and import it into their new software. We can also network Macs & PCs for sharing printers, files, databases, and Internet access.
Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Internet training.
Every business has a different structure, and different needs and potential uses for the Internet. Nearly all businesses today need access to e-mail for communication and Web Browsing for research, at a minimum. You may also be interested in learning the basics of Web Page / Web Site Design, from the most basic to the most complex of design concepts and tools. Maybe you want a web site for your family, your hobby, or your side business, but you're not looking to be an Internet guru beyond web surfing and sending/receiving e-mail. That's no problem - we can fulfill all your Net needs quickly and effectively, and our prices will be lower than what almost any web design firms would quote for the same job. Whether you need our web site design services or just our advice & tutoring on all the ways you can use the Internet, you need look no further for all your Internet needs. We do not host web sites or provide Internet dial-up access, but can refer you to many options for ISPs and hosting companies if you need those services, and can set the services up for you quickly and inexpensively.
Mobile Solutions Specialists.
Over our many years of professional experience in the computer industry, we've seen (and helped) many users make the "move" from a desktop to a laptop (or notebook or portable) computer. If you use your computer more than a just a little, a laptop can be more than twice as valuable and useful, since it goes everywhere that you go. If you travel regularly, or meet with clients outside of your office, a laptop is practically a necessity for today's well-equipped computer user. Mobile solutions unleash an entirely new level of creativity when used with digital photography/video. There are many factors in deciding what to buy, and whether or not you actually need to have a portable computer, whether it will supplement or completely replace your desktop computer, and which features are the most important to consider when choosing one. Contact us and talk to an expert BEFORE you buy.
Digital Video & Digital Photography.
Digital Photography and Digital Video are two areas where technology has accelerated and prices have dropped faster than in the rest of the computer industry. The quality and power available today, compared to the quality (as well as the prices!) of just a few short years ago is nothing short of astounding. Because of the rapid pace and relative newness of these product lines, you will get more for your money if you consult an expert both before and after purchasing such equipment.
Used Equipment
If you are on a budget, looking to get a friend or relative introduced to computing, or looking for an inexpensive second computer for your household, contact us with your needs and we may be able to help you find an under-$500 bargain system with plenty of power for basic use and more.

CONTACT US with your name, telephone number, and a short description of your needs, and we will respond with a solution and estimated cost.

Standard Rates for home users: $75 per hour for onsite service. Discounts available to PC or Mac User Group members and full-time students (and parents of full-time students living with them). 1 hr. minimum applies. A small travel fee may apply depending on your location.
