EXCELLENT! MY FIRST CALL TO MARK WAS WHILE HE WAS ON VACATION, BUT HE NEVERTHELESS CALLED ME BACK THE SAME DAY. AS PROMISED DURING THAT FIRST CALL, HE THEN CALLED ON HIS FIRST DAY BACK IN TOWN AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. HE WAS ON TIME (EVEN A MINUTE OR TWO EARLY), CORDIAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND EFFICIENT. HE OFFERED SOME HELPFUL ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS. HE FOLLOWED UP AFTER THE VISIT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY AND TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM IN THE FUTURE FOR ALL MY COMPUTER SERVICE NEEDS AND I HAVE RECOMMENDED HIM TO SEVERAL NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED WITH HIS SERVICES.

FIRST OF ALL, I CALLED THIS COMPANY BECAUSE I FORGOT MY PASSWORD AND COULD NOT GET INTO MY COMPUTER! IT'S A NEW COMPUTER SO I WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT LOSING DATA, I JUST WASN'T SURE OF THE START UP CDS. MARK RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY AND VIA PHONE WAS ABLE TO HELP ME. THIS WAS AT NO CHARGE! I WAS SO IMPRESSED, I MADE AN APPT FOR HIM TO SET UP MY WIRELESS NETWORK. THIS INCLUDED A LONG CALL TO COMCAST [HAPPY I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL W/TALKING TO THEM ABOUT BROADBAND] AND CONNECTING THE CABLE GATEWAY WHICH IS A COMBINED ROUTER AND MODEM. I HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOME COMPUTER SETUPS AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF WIRELESS. MARK WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND I WAS NOT MADE TO FEEL IGNORANT. IT WAS EASY TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS, AND BEFORE HE LEFT, HE MADE SURE I UNDERSTOOD HOW TO USE THE CONNECTION AND OFFERED GREAT SUGGESTIONS ON SOFTWARE, INCLUDING WHAT I NEEDED FOR VIRUS PROTECTION. MARK WAS EFFICIENT, PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, AND I'D HIRE HIM AGAIN IF THE SITUATION ARISES.
