I found Bay Computer Solutions on E-Bay. $120 mother board repair service. I sent them my laptop with a damaged HD connector. Rather than e-mail, they called. Communication was very poor. But, I was so happy they repaired the laptop in good time. I left positive feedback. However, when I got back, it wouldn't work. I had to turn it off and back on several times just to get to boot menu. I was PO'd. I called and e-mailed. They apologized and said they would fix it. Back it goes! Poor communication again. Thye had it a long time. I called and e-mailed, again I never got a response until I called the Sunnyvale police to check on it. Same problem when I got it back. I was REALLY PO'd now! I e-mailed and they offered to replace the mother board. So, back it goes a third time. They replaced the motherboard. Finally it works. Every time $15 to send it. Why didn't they check it out properly the first time? I'm happy now it has worked good so far. ...read more

I started employing Clyde soon after he started the business, In the Moment Computing. What an apropos name. He has always been right there for me. No job is too small for him. He has helped me on large jobs too, mostly over the phone. Clyde walked my husband and I through installing an updated system, helped me figure out how to print a small part of a page, get into things I didn't know existed, etc. He is very reliable and has such a calm nature and voice, perfect for my excitable nature. He never makes me feel I should have known what the problem is. It is actually fun to watch him get into my computer from his computer and I can sit back and watch the cursor whizzing around the screen. He is in the perfect business. I am not computer savvy, but he doesn't mind, he takes me for what I am. I am delighted to recommend him for all computer jobs - big or small. ...read more

First off, Mac&Linux users can stop reading now (unless you want to help your friends using Windows PCs, Notebooks and Servers).

Reqall.com is one of the coolest sites I've seen in quite some time. You call the 888 number, you dictate a message and within 30-60 seconds, you get the desired output you specify - email, text message, or website, or all 3! That's it in a nutshell, but there's more! You can send messages to it via IM, the web, the phone (iphone, windows mobile, regular cellphone), RSS feed, and calendar intergration. You can then call it and say "Recall" and it will tell you events you need to be doing today, tomorrow or next year! You set the whole thing up. What I love about it, is that it's so dang easy to use! I figured it out in about 5 minutes. It's free "for now," but I have a feeling they'll be charging or have ads in the future.
