The original serviceperson was very very nice. I had explained when I first called that I was older (64) and new very little about computers. I asked for a "nice n***" and the man who came out was. Unfortunately, by the time the installation date of my new computer was set up, that man had left the company. The man who came out to install my computer was extremely knowledgeable. He set it up fairly quickly, told me click this and click that, which I could not remember any of after he left. He told me he charged $125/hr. if he had to come back out to show me something. He sold me a monthly "assistance" plan for questions to a center in CA. I'm glad I do have that. I found out that I don't have a Word program on my computer. Considering he had documents, etc. from my old computer, I didn't understand why he didn't ask me if I wanted that installed or told me I'd need to buy. I just felt that after he left, I sat down at the computer and had no idea how to start anything. I still have questions I don't understand. I guess this would have been OK if someone knew computers and how to do things. For a newer person, who asks dumb questions and doesn't know what to call things, he was not sympathetic or really helpful. It would have helped if he'd let me sit down and do some stuff while he was still here to see that I understood the new basics. Of course, Windows 7 is so different and my AOL is too -- in order to work with Windows 7 I was told. I am getting along, but doing lots of (what I think is unnecessary) clicking and wish I could be learning the correct way of doing things.
Description of Work: Checked my old computer and found it could not be fixed - or actually, the cost of fixing was more than buying a new computer. They removed my old info. onto a disc. They recommended a brand of computer to buy. They installed the new computer.

It was a great experience overall. They were polite, courtesy, and professional. something you don't see that often in this economy. I support local businesses and tell everyone about these guys!!!
Description of Work: So the other day my computer wouldnt turn on so i called these guys and they showed up within 15 minutes and had my computer diagnosed in minutes. turned out my power supply went out and my hard drive was bad. I had another company look at it. they wanted over $300 to replace the power supply, hdd and reinstall the operating system and transfer all my data. Affordable nerds only charged me $120. they had it back to me the next day too. not like the connecting place.
