This company is great! They are very courteous and effective and my impression is that the owner has a lot of IT experience to help him problem solve tough situations. He is a great communicator of the complexity of computer problems. And I truly feels he doesn't just take the easy way out of tough situations, but rather, will do what is necessary to resolve problems if it is desired by the customer. I would definitely hire him again!

Thank you for the kind words, Chris. We do try to go the extra mile and find the best fit rather than the convenient solution. Keep us in mind if you have any questions at all!

I am a senior with just enough computer knowledge to be dangerous. Rodney helped me find all my files in my ruined 2009 Acer harddrive and transferred them to a clean 2014 Toshiba laptop. He then installed Windows 10 and all my other software, added VPN and virus protection, etc. Great job!

It was great meeting you and your husband, Sherryl. We accomplished a lot together in a short period of time. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your meticulous notetaking. You're also quite knowledgable about the issues with Big Tech and their products. I'm always here if you need me in the future.

Rodney Harnish cleaned up our HP 4720S laptop which was infected with a couple of viruses. He also performed a variety of other tasks which made the computer usable again. All in all he did an excellent job on a timely basis, at a reasonable price. I have already given his name to other associates who may be in need of his expertise. Bob Carr St. Petersburg.

Thanks for the feedback. Be sure to keep an eye on the hard drive and back up important files periodically. It is at a higher risk of mechanical failure because of its age.

Rodney helped me with my laptop which was overheating. I dropped it off on Sat and got it back fixed and ready on Monday. Rodney is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions (which I had a lot) thoroughly and in a manner I understood. I really think he went above and beyond what I asked for. I highly recommend having Rodney fix your computer or laptop. If ever I have any other problems I will call on Rodney.
