Does your computer just seem to be going slower? Maybe you want to share your cable modem or DSL between the new computer you just got and the old one you moved into your kid's room. Or maybe you want to use your digital camera better--or more effectively surf the web--or just get an idea of what to buy next.

If you're in Northern Westchester, NY, call me, Hugh McNally. I have more than 20 years of experience with personal computers, both Windows-based machines and Macintoshes. I am professional, mature, and available in the evening and on weekends. You will get expert and prompt help and instruction based on your specific needs, without the bias of a salesperson.
