  • Virus and spyware checks - I'll install free software to do this, and get you started

TRAIN

  • You use Microsoft Office, but do you get the most out of it?  I've been teaching word processing as long as there have been word processors, and I can, in just three hours, teach you how to get the most of Word, Excel, and Outlook.  Give your small business a polished, professional look by using software you already own like a pro.

FIX

  • If your machine is really sick, I can diagnose it and fix it...  or, if it's really just too damaged, I can advise you on buying a new one and salvaging your data from the old one.

"Peter Basch has truly saved my computer life several times and at a moment's notice! Peter has tons of knowledge, patience and a good sense of humor (helpful in moments of panic!) He is also reliable and very reasonable when it comes to what he charges for his services. The fact that he does house calls makes a busy person's life so much easier.  Peter is the one I turn to for computer emergencies, but also for maintenance and to make things run more smoothly."

M. Gallagher, Preschool Director, West LA, 5/2/2010

"Peter has done the trick, for a fair and reasonable price and is a pleasure with which to deal.  What more could we ask of the person who keeps our computers humming at their best and thus helps us to do the same."

M.Grundstein, Preschool Director, Venice, 5/2/2010

"While staying in Los Angeles, I managed to drop my laptop not once, but twice, breaking a hinge.  It was in pretty sad shape, would not stay open and I received two repair quotes, both for roughly the price of a new computer.  I asked Peter if he could look at it, and while he confirmed that to permanently fix it would require parts and lots of cash, he was able to quickly (and for as very fair price) create a extremely effective "temporary" fix which lasted for months (until I bought a new computer) and continues to keep the laptop soldiering on as my backup computer. Quick, fair, thorough.  I recommend Peter to anyone looking for tech help -- he's like Geek Squad with a personality."

C.C., Los Angeles, 1/11/2010

"Peter saved my (virtual) life. I had a problem loading in a popular graphics program and tried everything the manufacturer suggested, with no success. I called Peter and he came up with the solution very quickly. Highly recommended."

K.K.S., Woodland Hills, 11/1/2009

"When my computer wouldn't start for no reason at all Peter talked to me over the phone until he realized that I needed to reinstall Windows. He actually found the CD I needed and helped me restart my computer without losing any files! He is very pleasant and professional, I highly recommend him."

J.D., San Francisco

"I had a thorny problem involving wireless transmission to a distant guest house. Peter Basch solved the problem, and taught me a lot in the process. He knows hardware, he knows software, and he wears it all lightly. His wit and wisdom are a welcome relief from the impersonality of the usual computer whisperer. I can recommend his services without reservation."

T.B., Brentwood

"Delighted with Peter - he did a great job!"

M.B., Beverlywood

"Peter Basch made my life easier in just one hour. My laptop had been shlumping along, and Peter demystifed the problem, so that not only did things immediately run better, but I got a handle on maintenance routines I am now using to continue to keep it running well. Peter's an expert at explaining just what I need to know, so I don't feel overwhelmed. Thanks!"

S.V.A., Hollywood

People often ask me to help with their computers and gadgets.  Maybe it's running really slowly all of a sudden, or they think they have a virus, or they want to buy a new machine, but are bewildered by the options out there.  Maybe their network doesn't reach their guest house, or they hear a rattling noise in their hard drive.  Or maybe they just bought Final Draft or Movie Magic, but can't figure it out.
