Since 1994, JB has been my
Mac teacher and technical support angel, database designer, and web maestra
extraordinaire. First, she transitioned me smoothly from PC to Mac laptops,
installed all computer hard- and software for me, taught me programs patiently,
and, most importantly, has always been accessible when I need advice or
am in a computer crisis. JB calmly answers all questions (over the phone
and in person) and (almost) always finds solutions to problems. She is
friendly and never talks down on me, no matter how little or much I know.
JB custom-made a very user-friendly
database for my qualitative oral history research, which proved invaluable
for the writing of my doctoral thesis, saving me months of work through
keywords, categories, and cross referencing.
Furthermore, JB has developed and meticulously
maintains two web sites, my personal and my business web site, which
have been praised by visitors for their appeal and easy navigation.
JB has given
me countless hours with her very reasonable sliding scales rates
for her outstanding services. JB’s
computer support and design skills, her aesthetic eye and hard
work can only be matched by her generosity, patience, and boundless
kindness. I cannot imagine another computer expert of higher abilities
and willingness to put her skills in the service of her clients
as JB does day in day out.
I recommend JB without any reservation.
