COMPUTER HELPER – RECOMMENDATION
I have found a terrific student from UCLA who has been a big helper solving problems on my computer and scanner. He is patient, understanding and readily available from UCLA, and charges a fair & reasonable price for his service.
As a 50 year Westwood resident I highly recommend him. If you choose to contact him, mention my name as my recommendation.
