Hi Carlo, We don't forget this is a public forum. The original poster asked if anyone knew anything about them. Yes we do; and Daniel rightly posted his experience of being called out after these people.
I'm all for loyalty, if I can not give support to someone who contacts me as they are out of my travel area, or expertise, I immediately have no hesitation in recommending they contact MacWizardry as I know that Daniel's standard of service is excellent and his knowledge of all things related to Apple & Macs is above anyone else I know of (& I know a lot of Mac Consultants)! How about supporting our own Consultants that give so much of their time and knowledge to give support to WAMUG for free.
