I like fixing problems!  I've brought failing computers back to life, rescued files from virus-ridden hard drives, and fixed computers that were working fine till the visitors arrived --- whatever your computer problem, I can help.

I especially like fixing problems before they occur! Computers need regular maintenance to keep them running safely and efficiently. If you have new computer, or are thinking of getting one, I can help you set it up so you won't have to worry about viruses and spyware. I can establish a maintenance schedule that will keep your old computer running smoothly and save you hours of frustration and costly future repairs.

Some of my clients just want their computers fixed; others want to know how they can avoid problems in the future. That's why when the job's done you not only get a full report, but also the tools to make sure it stays done.

Here are some of the ways I can help you:
