Hi, All, A while back I asked for computer help for a friend with a PC (and I have a MAC). These are the answers I received from all you wonderful people. Thanks again so much! jai These are listed in the order I received them. PC (It's possible some of these may also work on MACs. It wasn't always clear if they were PC only people, but definite MAC people are below.) •Tomas Singliar, tomas@cs.pitt.edu, 412-251-1966 •Steve Karl, 412-441-4349, SAKarl@SightSea.com, Steve is a Highland Park resident & was recommended by Al Mann, also recommended by Audrey Rasmusson & Jean Thomas & Kate Freed & Mary Barr (He came to my house and gave me a lot of help, and only charged $35 for an hour. The free anti-virus program he told me about has already saved me more than that.) •Alan Jakub is excellent. Have used him and referred to many people. His number is 412 377-9822. Works at Mellon during the day as high level computer person so give him a call this evening. Tell him Marsha Aarons suggested you call. •Jeff Dumm. 412-773-2957.
