A different kind of computer help

The goal isn't just to get through today's problem

Paul knows what it feels like when computer instruction moves too fast or assumes you already understand the terminology. His approach is to slow things down, explain the reason behind each step, and adapt the session to what you actually need.

Sometimes you want the problem fixed. Sometimes you want to understand how to do it yourself next time. Paul can do either, and often both in the same appointment.
