Thank you GregK. KoenigLONG story short: I got the data back, Greg!!!Ok, Greg – thanks for accommodating this quick update! LONG story short: I got the data back, Greg!!! It was not easy and it was ugly, but I got it back… BUT, I never would have gotten there if it wasn’t for YOU! From the beginning, you were reassuring and that was HUGE at a time when I was feeling so awful! You just stayed positive even under the worst of circumstances. So this is great news for me – and hopefully for you too b/c we don’t need to screw up your weekend – but we need to take care of you too. So my question to you, Greg, is what would be a fair amount to pay you for your help? I still remember that you took my initial email when you didn’t know me from Adam, and you were so willing to help. I gotta reciprocate with you. Please let me know what would be fair to you so we can work that out! I am THRILLED to get the data back and I know it would NOT have happened without your positive influence! Thanks, Greg!!!Walt SpillaneGreat serviceGreat service, I will recommend him to everyone in need of this type of service.

His rates were reasonable, work was efficient and he is pleasant to work with. Everything is working faster now. Many thanks, Greg!Susie BasandaA word from a senior hereA word from a senior here. Greg is PATIENT. He’s like a caring grandson who comes over to help out with even the simplest of things. My introduction to Greg was when my computer screen went white. “A virus” he proclaimed, and promptly fixed it. Our session are usually him showing me the simplest of functions on the computer. He is a good explainer. There is a need for folks who work well with older folks who want to use this technology, but don’t pick up on things as quickly as when young. Thanks Greg. I’m glad I can still use your services when I make my move to Ventura.Mitzi ChandlerMy laptop caught a nasty virusMy laptop caught a nasty virus. A friend suggested calling tech-hachapi and I’m so glad I did! Greg was very quick to return calls and to rid that nasty virus from my laptop. He also helped with the performance and speed of my computer and it runs like new again. Thanks a bunch Greg!ShannonGreg is a real professionalGreg is a real professional with computer problems. I had an Internet company make me a web site, and they did a poor job on it. I finally bought it from them, and Greg fixed all the errors they made on it, it was done in the Linux language, and I had no idea how to fix it. He came to my work to look at my problem and then went home to work on it. He fixed the problem, added Google Check Out on my site for me, which I had no idea how to do! I am a computer dummy. Greg is honest, hard working, fast on getting the job done. I highly recommend him AAAA+++++Victoria WayGreg does a nice jobGreg does a nice job of getting your computer up and running all in the comfort of your home. It is nice that a town as small as Tehachapi offers this type of computer service.Jim RomoLeave your own commentTech TalkWindows Media PlayerTech Talk #189–October 1, 2022 The first versions of Windows didn’t support playing music or watching videos.
