Note on distance: If you live more than twenty miles from the edge of zip code 22153, I will have to charge a $5 to $15 mileage fee. I am happy to meet you at a public place within said boundary for laptop and smartphone tutorials. I am restricted to the DC Metro area, Fairfax County, and Prince William County.



*If I cannot fix the problem, but can diagnose and direct you to further help, I will only charge a nominal transportation fee. If I cannot even identify the problem, the visit is on me.
**There are many, many custom ROMs out there. I will consult and help you pick which one is right for you.



More services may be added, including basic programming and html work, "Hackintosh" modifications, and full home office or entertainment installations.
