The tech came over & looked at the computer. He told us that the issue could NOT be resolved. Even so, he lingered around for a while and charged the full hour (+tax) without providing any solution or even a path to resolution. A complete waste of money & time. I would recommend a PLACE THAT CHARGES FOR SERVICE, NOT FOR FAILURE!
Description of Work: Our computer could no longer connect to wireless due to the internal computer path, not to the internet access at the house. When we described the issue over the phone, we were told that it was a known issue and could be resolved.

My printer stopped working due to a router issue. Chris figured out quickly what the problem was and fixed it. He then made sure there were no unforeseen problems with my computer and ran some updates. He's very knowledgeable, quick at analyzing problems, and can figure out anything. I'd highly recommend him. I had received an email good for $20 off his service and was able to use it toward this.

Went really smoothly. First time I have used someone that I did not know prior. All other work has been done by people I knew at work. Gail responded quickly to my voice message and scheduled me for the next day as Chris would be driving past my area. He was thorough, explained all steps he was taking and why. Several things were identified as creating speed “drags” and discussion followed with why and what to do. I was happy with the outcome, machine works much faster. I also changed my virus protection at his suggestion. Would definitely hire this company again.

Outrageously well for 10 years. Chris Eddy, principal geek, has remote software and can (if you agree) see your screen to fix your problem almost anywhere you are in the world. He is an expert in computer security, encryption, low cost or free (very effective) virus protection software. Chris has exceptional experience from designing entire computer systems for Fortune 500 companies, small businesses and individuals. Professional, responsive, affordable and friendly!

I thought I understood the problem, and I had been troubleshooting for a couple of days, but it turns out I was completely wrong! Chris arrived and identified the *real* problem extremely quickly (why did I wait to call him?), and solved it equally as quickly. Additionally, he explained everything to me all the way through, so I learned a lot about my network set up. He also gave me some really good advice about some future plans I have for adding some technology services to my house and I intend to call him when I am able to start that project. Overall, the service was impeccable; there is absolutely no one else I would call.

Excellent. Chris was methodical, thorough, and time-efficient. After diagnosing the problem, which took the first hour, he asked how we could proceed, presenting options that included doing nothing, repairing the computer, and finally, his helping me select and procure a new computer--the option I chose (which he did much faster than I could have). All in all an entirely satisfying transaction. I would recommend Chris wholeheartedly to anyone needing to solve a computer issue.

I was transitioning from a PC to a Mac and I wanted a professional to ensure my files were transferred properly, particularly my emails and their folder structure. I probably could have done this myself but, given the importance of the files to me, I didn't want to take any chances. Chris decided to take a shortcut to 'save time' by transferring my MS Outlook pst files directly from my PC's hard drive to my Mac's hard drive, instead of exporting them using MS Outlook's feature. This was a huge mistake. I spent many hours unsuccessfully trying to import the pst files into the MS Outlook program on my Mac. When I tried to troubleshoot with Chris over the phone, he could not resolve the issue and advised me to contact Microsoft support. I then had to spend an additional $125 with Microsoft technical support before the problem was resolved. And the problem was that Chris had not exported my pst files properly in the first place. It's extremely disappointing. If I pay someone as much as I paid him, I expect the job to be done properly.
Description of Work: Transitioned my files from PC to Mac, including setting up Mac.

Chris arrived on time and even notified me when he left his home, as he lives in Nederland, quite a ways away from Littleton. He started out by running a scan of all my computer systems, to try and identify problems that way first. He then suggested that I use Mozilla Firefox as my primary server, as it was much faster. He repaired a whole lot of small problems that I didn't even know I had. He repaired email issues. He was here a little over 2 hours and spent most of that time explaining what he was doing as he progressed. I am not very computer literate, so I appreciated that he took his time explaining what he was doing and showing the many changes he made. I'm sure I will use him again, even for small problems that he might be able to talk me through over the phone.
Description of Work: After many months of having multiple problems come up with my computer, I decided to locate a computer tech to come to my home to resolve those issues. Chris Eddy's site had raving reviews, so I decided to go with him.
