Just who am I, anyway …
I’m TM Petaccia – and my very first Mac was the very first Mac (well, not serial #…001, but definitely the original “1984″ 128K box). My initial plan was to use it in my then new role as a freelance advertising copywriter. Well, one thing leads to another, friends ask me for advice, advertising clients ask for advice. Before you know it, I’m a full-fledged consultant. Isn’t that always the way?
In the 35+ years since first experiencing that new Mac smell, I’ve been providing a number of Macintosh, network, and internet-related services to the fine folks and businesses in the Charlotte, NC area – as well as select clients across the USA.
In addition, the creative juices are still flowing – now in concert with acquired technical acumen – in the form of web and graphic design as well as various digital media practices.

Installation

Onsite Troubleshooting
Finding, and when possible correcting, what went wrong – on a network, hardware, system, application, or document level.

If your computer can still connect to the internet, a remote GoToAssist session may be all you need to get you up and running smoothly without an onsite service call.

Service to fully evaluate your hardware and software needs before you buy (may at client’s discretion include one or more “no-obligation” quotes from area vendors, eCommerce, and mail order firms).
