[Hidden-tech] Mac Help

[Greg Caulton]

True about Dan Kaden (Dancer) but I believe he’s enjoying his retirement so that’s something!

I’ve had good experiences with Green Earth and Chris Allard of Northampton Computer (Ink & Toner). When I wanted to swap in a new SSD into my iMac LeftClick wanted they diagnostic fee and wouldn’t budge even though I just wanted a hardware swap. 

Both Green Earth and Northampton Computer have done those simple tasks for me with no fuss, quicker and for less than Yes or LeftClick would take/charge..

Mark started to refuse, and was so completely unethical in what he said to me then, but I told him I wasn't leaving until I got my money back. After about an hour, he handed me a check. I have not stepped foot in his shop ever since. And that was back when he was still on Main Street.
