"We were absolute novices in the Mac world, having just fled from a decade of troublesome existence using Windows. Dave Perez was invaluable in helping us to set up our new computer and to find our way around in the many functions that differ from those we knew from our PC use, and was friendly and reliable throughout the process. He has kept in touch with us ever since those early days and continues to be exceedingly helpful. We are both grateful for his guidance and would gladly recommend him to others making the transition from a Windows computer to a Mac."

"Lucky you, if you’ve discovered Dave at MacDave. His knowledge, skill, and service are quite exceptional, and at very reasonable rates. In addition, he is most enjoyable to work with! This said from a tough customer who is looking for the best.

I brought two computers to him, one was an iMac which was having numerous issues, and which I needed to upgrade to the current Leopard OS X. The other was an old Mac Powerbook (“Pismo” laptop) still running OS 9, which also needed work. An additional challenge was transferring all my critical files and data from the OS 9 laptop to the iMac running Leopard. Also, I needed to put OS X on the laptop and set it up to run a wireless card. In summary, I gave him a number of challenging problems.

Dave promptly and efficiently accomplished all the above and more, while generously and patiently tutoring me in the many areas where I needed help. Additionally, he suggested numerous helpful hardware and software aids, along with resources and tips.

If you go to his home office it is easy to find, located on a quiet cul de sac in a very pleasant Berkeley neighborhood. Both he and his office are very well organized.

Dave certainly saved me time, money and hassle. Lucky me, I have found my computer guru and will be recommending him to all my Mac friends."

"Working with Dave on several projects I have come to appreciate his technical prowess on a very profound level. He simply knows more than any one man should in the area of Mac computing and networking. Never have I presented him with a challenge he couldn't meet or an obstacle he didn't overcome. From simple Apple optimization and backup to the most complicated high end audio and video high bandwidth network design and analysis, MacDave is a powerful ally on the ever-changing battlefront of technology. He's a darn nice guy too!"
