“Tim has an amazing knack for relaying complicated computer information in easy-to-understand terms. He always explains in detail what is wrong and what needs to be done, then follows up to make sure things are working correctly. He’s also readily available via phone or email to answer quick (and sometimes not-so-quick!) questions. I recommend Tim to every Mac user I know.
