Roslyn ressler5 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Roslyn has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
They told me my computer needed an expensive repair. They suggested I could pay them $90 to move my stored things and buy a different computer. I bought a different computer and paid them to move my stored things. A while after a friend removed the print driver and my older computer worked fine. I called and complained. He said I authorized them to move my data and was not willing to do anything. Obviously if I knew they were wrong I would not have paid them $90 to try to move my stored things.

Hi Roslyn,
It's quite odd to have a review after nearly 5 years since the last service. Our records indicate that your computer was Windows XP as well, so that may have been brought up in the conversation, as XP was no longer supported at that time. We apologize that there may have been some miscommunication. We also no longer service residential clients since the beginning of 2022.
