About Me

I've been fixing computers and doing system updates for home and business computer users in Atlanta on Macs, PCs & Linux devices of all kinds. I build and maintain Wired and WiFi networks in the Midtown, Poncey/Highlands, 5-Points, Grant Park, Lake Claire & Buckhead neighborhoods for over two decades. Fixing your computers is what I do.

Who, What, Where?

I started down this path, first as a residential building contractor and carpenter back in the 80's. I wanted to be able to do my own architectural and engineering drawings to submit for permits, so I taught myself CAD (computer-aided design) on a PC and then learned basic programming skills and how to fix my first-ever computer, an Apple IIC in 1987 (that I still have and still works). I bought a series of Windows PCs at that time because Macs were just too expensive and not as compatible with my business needs.

In 2000 I completed a 4-month intensive course as an MCSE (Microsoft Solutions Systems Engineer) at Georgia State University. I bring this training and over 20 years of work experience including Desktop Publishing for a dive magazine, HTML/CSS Web Design & Wordpress websites as well as Digital Photo Editing & Print Production. It was at this time I bought my first Mac, a clone, a Power Computer Power Tower 166 that I still have and still works! I add all these skills to my work fixing, updating and consulting on computers and networks here in Atlanta in my computer repair business in the 30306 area.

Word of Mouth

If you want to get the most out of today's powerful gadgets you need someone who works with them every day. This is what I do. I keep up with the newest devices, faster and bigger SSD and M.2 NVME drives, and question if RAM and upgrading your GPU or a newer OS with more features and/or stability is the way to keep your device fast and relevant. That daily experience makes me the IT professional you might just need.

I have lived, worked and volunteered in the Virginia-Highlands community of Atlanta, GA since 1982. We bought a house here in 1986 and the majority of my work is still right here in Va/Hi for neighbors and friends from Buckhead to the Zoo!

Tech Support without the Technicalities!

༄༄༄༄༄༄ The Holidays are upon us! Everything we do, travel, communicate, learn, earn and get-together, they all rely to some extent on our digital devices for better or worse, so keeping them working and healthy can make life a little better or a LOT worse. So whether your go-to desktop PC is giving you headaches, you sat on your MacBook Air and the screen is messed-up, you lost data when the hard drive died or you just need a little help with your network to get those family emails out or your resume updated, I live right here in Virginia Highlands/Midtown/O4W neighborhood and I fix and upgrade computers and fix and install wired LANs and WiFi. So to start off Fall with a faster, safer, more reliable computer and network and give me a call. I offer local, in your home or here in my home-office tech support at much lower rates than local computer repair shops. I'm six blocks NorthEast of Ponce City Market and only 800 feet East of the Beltline. It's a neighborhood operation and is as simple as a phone call, text or an email. Bring your laptop or desktop here for a quick drop-off or I can come to you, onsite at your home or business. Text or Call and I'll get back to you on the same day: 404-692-2618 (Office 24/7). Do you want to make your old Mac fast again, or find that perfect gaming behemoth with a 32" curved display? In our throwaway society computer makers don't make it easy to fix our stuff, but that same 10-year old MacBook can be as fast as a new Mac with the latest SATA or M.2 SSD (drive) or added RAM for a _LOT_ less money. So make a resolution to fix it, not toss it. Both Macs and PCs can benefit from the newest storage tech, SATA and M.2 NVME SSDs are insanely fast compared to the original old-tech hard drive that your computer came with when it was new. As we dive into the Holidays keep your devices humming. You don’t have to be an IT professional, that’s what I am. Whether you’re a small-business or a family with a house full of gadgets, I have your back.

. . . Email or call me at 404-692-2618 and leave me a message . . .

. . . Send me a request with your name & number that I can text or call. I always try to return calls on the same day. I'm always available for a quick question or request via text and I have flexible hours and pricing. I can also help out remotely if needed while you sit at home in your snuggly jammies & bunny slippers! I also do in-person service calls and consulting . . .

. . . I'll make your slow Mac or PC fast again or non-booting PC boot again. I can usually recover data from a dead computer or I can advise on a replacement if it's time to retire it and get a new one . . .

. . . I specialize in doing hardware upgrades for older gear especially for Macs and Windows PCs and I do repairs on almost all laptops and desktop computers including logic board (motherboard), display, case and keyboard replacements . . . .

. . . I can usually extend the life of a computer you thought was dead or outdated, but that just needs a little hardware-upgrade-love so that it runs fast once more!

. . . I design, build & fix wired & WiFi networks and small business networks. Text or email me and I'll text or email you back! As the leaves begin to fall, I'll be just down the street. WWWebbit.com ! ———————————————> Click to Contact Me <––––––––––––––––––. ༄༄༄༄༄༄

What I Do

N eighborhood IT Guy is a pretty good description of what I do every day. I advise individuals, families, small & large businesses, Churches, schools, doctor's offices, and design & photo studios on how to get the most out of their digital devices. I consult on computer applications, software, hardware and services. I do physical repairs on most models of PC and Mac computing systems, laptops and desktops. I specialize in upgrading older Macs and PCs with fast SSD storage, adding RAM and operating system upgrades. There is no better upgrade than going from a slow spinning hard drive to a fast solid-state drive. It's like getting a new computer for under $400.

Wanna Fixit?

Computers are pretty robust, but accidents happen and Murphy rules. Drinks get spilled, laptops get dropped, hard drives die, displays crack and sometimes your computer just tanks mysteriously. If you have a virus I can remove it. If you've stumbled onto Ransomeware, I can defeat it and get your computer back without paying the ransom. If your computer is slow I can make it faster. Or if it's time to move on from that Compaq Deskpro 386 or Apple IIc, I can help you find a worthy upgrade, while shedding a tear for old silicone that is past its prime. So get a grep, we can always fsck it back into shape, so su me if I need to chroot a new path out of PC jail!

Your Place or Mine?

The way things are these days, being able to remotely work applies to tech support as well. Not every problem can be solved remotely. Many require hands-on repairs and upgrades. But where appropriate I can take control of your device, watch and advise and demonstrate and repair software issues without physical access which is often faster and cheaper than on-site repairs.

Services & Pricing

Job-Based Pricing

Many jobs have set pricing, such as hard drive upgrades or replacement, system backups & updates and memory upgrades. It's often dependent on the type of device and the difficulty of accessing internal parts. Some upgrades require a near-complete disassembly to add a new device or part or repair an internal component, such as the logic board, I/O board or adding or upgrading an SSD in some newer iMacs.

Before I start you will know your pricing wherever possible and if there's a change you will also know that and approve the change before I continue working on your device. Job-based pricing keeps costs lower by ignoring the time it takes on some projects in case there's a problem and focuses on the task and not the time. My focus is always on the best job possible for a fair price.

Hourly Pricing

My typical hourly rate is $60/Hr. This is far less than other operations charge. I also have extended hours via text for after-hour emergencies. Most texts will be returned the same day.

Not everything is going to be hourly, however. Many projects are by-the-job. For instance, upgrading from a traditional large hard drive to an SSD is on average under $400 including parts for most computer.

$70/ Hr for the first hour.
$60/Hr for all subsequent hours.

$60/Hr for sit-down work in my office.
This includes labor, research or training.

$50/Hr for all remote work.
(Remote from my Office).

I charge $35 to inspect your device. If I can't fix your device, or you decide not to proceed, it's still $35.

Flexible Pricing

Not every situation falls under an hourly model. Things like SSD upgrades, processor or logic board repairs, drive format and system restores or data recovery can often be more fairly approached with a fixed price. Priced what it should cost in the market and not how long it takes me every time I do it. I'll consult with you on the best pricing approach before we get started. If you have a question about Job-Based Pricing, please contact me.

Upgrade Options: SSD vs HDD Shootout

One of the best things you can do for an aging computer is to replace the Hard Disk Drive with a new fast SSD (Solid State Drive). The video below shows you how much faster your "new" old Mac will boot with an SSD installed in it.

This demo is for Macs, but Windows PCs, laptops, desktops and All-In-Ones can also benefit from the speed, reliability, impact resistance, heat-reduction and low power consumption of a Solid State Drive. To learn more about how SSDs can improve your system's performance, take a look at "Hard Disk Drive (HDD) vs Solid State Drive (SSD): What’s the Diff?"
