Computer Help in San Diego
Serving small business for over eight years
I'm John Atkinson, and I've been working with computers continously (and professionally) for over thirty-five years.
I provide expert technology consulting to small businesses and private individuals.
My clients are small business owners, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists, real estate brokers, retirees, parents, anyone who uses technology products.
I work with all the technology products we invite into our lives:
- Computers
- Software
- Printers
- Email
- Networking
- phone and fax
- smartphones
- web sites
- even home entertainment equipment
I specialize in making all these things work together to provide the solution you expect from your technology investment.

Basically, I take care of technology issues that my clients either cannot do themselves, or don't want to do themselves.
Much of my work is simply fielding questions over the phone, and I'm happy to do it. I enjoy helping people, and I've based my living on it.
