[Member Name Removed], Sorry for the issue you encountered. I don't get many referrals through Angie's list, so I don't actively monitor it as maybe I should. I hope and trust all worked out.

Response from Curtis Computer Services
I've actually done work for Member numerous times over the last several years. I have fixed and upgraded two older systems he had in previous years, before convincing him he should invest in something new. I built him a quad core system with Windows 7, plenty of memory, and lots of storage space. He should be good for quite a few years with this new system, and it can be easily upgraded if needed.

Description of Work: I don't know about you folks out there, but I have a passion for the gifts of technology, yet absolutely loathe trying to figure out how the darn thing(s) work. Previous past attempts of: "oh, I can do this with Tech Support" resulted in honest-to-God (Jeckly-Hyde) change to my otherwise pleasant demeanor. Imagine the kerfuffle with the leap to wireless. Then, along came John. THIS is the guy. In 2.5 hrs: data transfer from old to new: CPUgreater than laptopgreater than smartphone; I can now stream Internet onto the flat screen TV;w/sound via the Altec speakers from old desktop (sweet!);+ any bumps in data transfer also solved; + extra-mile stuff like making a run to get necessary adaptors (after witnessing the terror on my face when he began telling me items I still needed to purchase). He does this all for half the price I was charged by the previous company I was using (since gone out of business). On site estimate free; flexible w/appointments, including weekends; professional; prompt; accountable; patient; & open to educating. Would I call John again? In a New York minute.

I moved to a new condo in June and had a lot of computer equipment that I moved with me from my old place. I also purchased two new TVs and a full home theater setup (components and speakers) for one as well as a few components for the other. I am not an expert when it comes to computer and home theater equipment so I was feeling a little overwhelmed about getting everything set up and working just the way I wanted it... I am so glad someone recommended John to me. John took care of everything. He mounted the two TVs on the wall (one upstairs, one downstairs), set up all the home theater equipment, set up my two desktop computers and wireless home network, and got it all working right. I was a little reluctant to buy some of the equipment I did with all the internet connectivity and all, because I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it all working. Now, I am so glad I did, John took care of everything and it's all been working great since. I will definitely call John in the future for any home theater or computer/network needs I have!
Description of Work: Set up two desktop computers and a home wireless network. Wall-mounted two high-def TVs (64" and 42"), connected smart TV and components to home network, set up home theater system including several components and speaker system, programmed universal remotes.

John was very punctual and knowledgeable I would definitely call him back if i had any other computer problems.
Description of Work: John helped me set up a wireless home office network, which allowed my two Computers to share files and a printer. He even fixed my sons laptop - which had been broken for 8 months. John charges $35 hr which i think is an incredible bargain, he spent 20 minutes on the phone patiently explaining the options for my home network. He also installs surround sound systems.
