Sorry: No Free Technical Help
While I love what I do, I cannot afford to give free technical support. Unless you are a regular client, please don't call with 'quick questions'. I do offer a special discount for low incomes. I offer a page with useful sites that offer free troubleshooting tips. I also recommend the Brookdale Computer User Group. I am most active myself with the Mac Special Interest Group know as "Macwaves".
