• John Melby was a consultant for us on a number of occasions with setting up and networking three Macintosh computers for both our business and personal use.
  
  He is knowledgeable of all the state-of-the-art hardware and software and provided us with options on configurations.  John was always available to answer questions when we had glitches.  And he did not just talk us through our problems over the telephone.  He made personal visits to assess the problems and make certain that he thoroughly understood our requests.
  
  He would demonstrate the latest software technology and installed or updated several items of essential software for us.
  
  John Melby's consulting is more than just a business to him. He ascertains the requirements of each customer and does his best to make certain that the customer has a reliable and user-friendly system, as well as a better understanding of the computer hardware and software.
  
  We give our strongest recommendation to him as a Mac computer consultant.

• Unfailingly honest and forthright, the Apple consultation service offered by John Melby is simply superb. His thoroughness in troubleshooting and remedying are reason enough to enlist his services, but as an artist and a scholar (Professor Emeritus of Music), he also provides the most compelling and observant conversation on seemingly every topic. Imagine: a computer consultation which is actually — enjoyable.

• John Melby has provided invaluable assistance to me in my seemingly endless pursuit of computer compatibility. From the initial selection and purchase of an iMac through navigating the quagmire of software and the minefield of system optimization, I simply could not have done it without him.
  
  As a non-computer geek, even with the supposed simplicities of the Mac, I would be utterly lost trying to figure out on my own how to use the many features, how to set things up in a practical way, and what to do when things don't happen the way I think they should, or don't happen at all. Prof. Melby has multiple answers for most questions, at least one of which is bound to solve the problem. And on the rare occasion when he doesn't know the answer, he stays on the case until he finds it.
  
  If you need particular software or hardware but aren't sure exactly what, he can work it out with you. If you're facing what you think will be a horrendously expensive purchase, he may well be able to suggest a cheaper, and probably better, alternative. He can also tell you what products to avoid altogether.
  
  Whether you're an experienced computer user and you're stuck on a specific problem, or you're just getting started and have no idea where to begin, Prof. Melby can work with you at your level.

• Thank you so much for all your help getting my Mac in good shape and helping me set up my audio studio. Your expertise expedited my project. It would have taken me months to do what you did in a couple of days! The convenience of you coming to my home was so helpful. You sure know your stuff! Also thank you for all the help with my follow up questions. I will contact you again in the near future for your services.

• John Melby, in addition to being an exceptionally fine composer, has an encyclopedic awareness of Macintosh computers and is particularly adept at keeping them in perfect condition. Should any problems arise, I know from personal experience that he can solve them quickly. The problems that I encountered as a neophyte Mac owner were largely caused by me, but John very patiently not only fixed the problems, he recommended the software that would keep my computer in good running condition. By the time he had trained me in the use of OS X, he had saved me a lot of money. I wholeheartedly recommend John Melby as a technical consultant.

  The challenges became a pleasure.

• Thanks for all your very able assistance and exceptional patience with solving my computer problems and tuning up and improving both our computers. Your assistance was completely professional, thorough, and fully solved all the problems. We certainly will recommend you to any friend or acquaintance who is having Mac computer malfunctions and difficulties (though in all honesty, our Macs do have waaay fewer problems than our P.C.s had), and we would definitely call you again if any further difficulties occur.
