 We first discovered Bud Stolker more than ten years ago, when we were just getting started in our training and publishing business. Bud has been with us all the way. He has repaired our computers, built new ones, recovered data, provided valuable advice, and found time to make house calls. We recommend him to anybody, without reservation or qualification. Bud's tops.

Thanks Bud -- Several people on the WIW* email list recommended you as a great tech guru (I added my endorsement, too) . . . You've been terrific . . . Sitting at the computer this morning I feel very professional and a great deal more secure.

W O W - What a thoughtful response. Thanks for taking the time to give me such a thorough reply. I see why you're a successful computer consultant - someone who goes the extra mile. As a CPA and consultant, I realize the only thing we have to sell is our time. So I recognize the value of your response.

One of the things I missed most when I retired was my ability to call "the IT guy" when I had computer problems at work. Now I have that ability right here at home. Until I found you there was no way that I was going to have my home computer and printer problems fixed. Your quick responses and ability to explain to me how I should operate and care for my technology, something that most folks in your profession cannot accomplish for their customers, have been a lifesaver for this techno-idiot. You're the best.
-- Jerry McLaughlin, trainer, Savannah, Georgia

Your computers and your savvy enable me to do these things.

Aileen and I have been computer users for about 25 years. Since we first got on the Internet we've had about 30 virus infections. At first I was able to eliminate the offending code and fix the problems that it caused, but the infections soon became more complicated and the repairs too difficult for me to handle. We got the help we needed from Bud Stolker, a technical wizard. We have encountered no problem that Bud can't solve. |

Aileen Meyer | Bud not only fixes computers but also assembles new computers and upgrades out-of-date machines if it's economically feasible. We liked the idea of being able to choose exactly what equipment the machine should contain. We recently asked Bud to build Aileen our fastest, most modern computer and show her how to use it. She loves its speed and features, and brags about it to all who will listen.
Get acquainted with a well-grounded computer expert before you have a problem. If you live the Washington, DC area, Bud Stolker would be a good one to know. |

My masters have been clients of Bud's for as long as I can remember. Bud has always treated me with the utmost respect. He advocated for a bath and a haircut for me when no one else was interested, and when I finally got them both he was quick to notice. He has never had an unkind word, even after that unfortunate incident when I herded everybody into the copier room and wouldn't let them leave. It's boring sitting around an accounting office all day long, but Bud always knows just the right thing to perk me up. I like it when he comes to visit. -- Baxter |
