Yea....not so much. If you're an old lady that doesn't know how to connect cables or something, sure maybe he can help. This isn't some IT Department wiz kid moonlighting in his spare time; he's retired probably worked on mainframes back in the 1980s. He showed up to my house when I had a virus he couldn't fix, some Sonos and iTunes questions he didn't know how to answer (he had printed out Help docs from Apple...yes, I could have done that myself) and still couldn't answer, and a couple of other things (systems upgrade issues) that he had no idea how to fix. Fine that he couldn't fix the problems, but what irked me was that these were issues that someone who advertises as a for-hire technician should have been able to fix, and he was fairly smug about looking down at his watch at the end of the session and gladly took my cash as if he was rightly entitled for wasting a half hour of my time with the same troubleshooting I could have done myself. I nearly said "you're really going to charge me?". I would not say that this guy is an expert, nor is he fluent on current issues or a level of expertise that warrants charging $$$ in 15-minute intervals. Nice guy on a personal level but baby boomer mentality that "hey I showed up where's my check". If you call this guy, make sure you list out the problems you have and let him convince you he knows what he's doing before he shows up at your door and slowly tries all the things you already did...as he watched the minutes tick by. read more
