The software is on there and it seems pretty clean but specifically Quicken where I keep all my finances is gone. I have nothing. These files are extremely important. Jim Jackson has said there nothing he can do after he promised me that files were on the computer. I spent countless hours with Quicken trying to recover the information and they could not help either after entering my computer through remote access. I also could not get Outlook to work which I use to sort my emails and keep filing.

"Are you sure you called the correct number or person? I haven't received any phone calls or messages left from you to call you back. I was never aware that you needed further assistance. Sorry you felt that I never returned your calls, but I guarantee that I always immediately return calls the same day."

Not only did Mr. Jackson fix the issues, he also installed some software to make certain that I would not encounter any future issues. His price was more than fair. Any other computer tech would have charged 2 to 3 times as much. Very professional and polite. Definitely will call him again.

Mr. Jackson came to my home to help me with a new desktop computer that would not function at all.

He arrived as planned, got right to work, and after a couple of hours, had this PC running like it should have done all along. He not only fixed the underlying problems, but also uninstalled and reinstalled programs, installed proper drivers, connected my camera, etc. He did things with this computer that I have never been able to do since purchasing it. He also explained what he was doing and why, advised us on antivirus soft wear, and was very thorough in every aspect of his work. He never made me feel and quot;dumband quot; about the things I didn't understand about this new computer and it's operation, but was always very professional.

When he was done with my new computer, I mentioned my old computer which I had given to my 6-year old grandson to do schoolwork on. It was slow and also had a few other minor problems. I had not called Mr. Jackson for this old computer thinking that the problems were due to it's age and that it was just outdated. Mr. Jackson, however, sat down at the old one and after a little while, he had it running just as good as new!

As I was preparing to pay him for his excellent services, I felt that his charge was too low. He explained that he stands by the fee schedule he has set .......I actually felt his services were worth much more and so wrote out my check for more than the requested fee. He was reluctant to take the additional and quot;tipand quot; but I assured him that it was worth it to me to have someone as honest and professional as he had been in my home.

I would use Mr. Jackson again and would recommended him to anyone who has a frustrating computer issue. I did tell him he should raise his fees though (smile).

His businiss card saids $25 flat fee "np matter how long it takes". Well he did fix 2 computers, but would not answer the phone when trying to communicate with him, only text, then after a few days when the computers broke down, he would not respond at all, so the $140 was a waste,and to me he is a scammer. The date is approximate, it coulda be aug or sept. 2013.
Response from Jim Jackson Computer Specialist
"All of my ads clearly state $25 flat rate fees for cleanups, excluding house calls(which are an additional $20) Those prices are per computer. Reformatting a computer is $75 not including the house call charge of $20. You have never contacted me stating your computers broke down. I don't make house calls for a flat rate of $25 and spend 6-8 hours there doing work. Read the entire ad before you place calls or write bad reviews. My ads have been the same for several years. My business card can't explain every detail and every charge for additional work."

I called Mr. Jackson on 10/16/2013 in a.m. He returned my telephone call that afternoon and made a appointment for 3 p,m.



that afternoon. He was prompt and very efficient. As said above, he repaired my Dell computer and cleaned up both lap tops. So both are running smoothly. We would recommend him highly.

He was very patient as I kept adding work for him. He still only charged $25 per computer even though he was here all day.
