In a nutshell, Bionic Cat
provides planning, care and feeding for your Macintosh
and network setup, but click on any title for a bit
more information....
Macintosh Desktop Consulting
OS X desktop setups, upgrades, installations,
troubleshooting and ongoing maintenance.
For example:
For example:
- We'll help you spec out what you need to set up your office or upgrade your existing setup.
- We'll help you pick out your perfect new Macintosh and transfer all your applications and documents from your old computer to your new one.
- We'll upgrade your current Mac from 10.3 to 10.4 while maintaining all your settings and applications.
- We do Windows! Perhaps you've heard that new Macs can run Windows. Indeed it's true! We'll set you up with the best of both worlds.
- We'll help you pick up and install a bigger hard drive or add more memory to your existing Mac.
- There's a whole world of lovely go-fasters and geekery hidden inside your Mac. We'll help you uncover it!
- We can troubleshoot a Mac-gone-mad and whip it back into shape.
- We'll do our best to rescue your data from a failing or failed hard drive (and then encourage you to begin a backup routine).
Macintosh Server Consulting
OS X server setups, upgrades, installations,
troubleshooting and ongoing maintenance.
For example:
For example:
- Does your small business need a reliable and affordable (read: no Microsoft-like per-seat licenses) file, web, mail or VPN solution? We'll help you decide if OS X Server is a fit for you and help you get it set up and running.
- We'll help you design a backup solution that's right for your budget and peace of mind!
Networking
No computer is an island (except the really
boring ones).
In your home or at your business, we can help you network your Mac and Windows machines together to share resources and connect to the internet. Wired or wireless, you chose (or we'll help you chose).
Looking for a way to securely access your files wherever you might be? We'll set you up with an affordable VPN (virtual private network) solution to enable you to access anything on your network from home, Starbucks or Timbuktu!

Web Presence
Not everyone needs a whiz-bang website.
Some folks just need an affordable, functional website with their own domain name and e-mail hosting.
We'll help you purchase a custom domain name (e.g., BionicCat.com), find an appropriate web- and e-mail-hosting provider and design an aesthetically pleasing but cost-effective site for you.
We harness the power of
RapidWeaver for our
web-design. What this means is that after
we've helped you lay the groundwork, if
you're so inclined, you can easily maintain
your site yourself!

Mac Miscellany
There's a microcosm in every Macintosh
We don't know everything, but we do possess two very powerful skills: knowledge of the Macintosh and analytical skills garnered from our liberal- arts education. What this means is that we can troubleshoot just about any Macintosh issue from the bizarre to banal.
And we'll do it with aplomb and with
catlike agility!
Have an issue that defies normalcy? Give us a call and we'll tell you truthfully whether we can handle it.

Welcome Windows Switchers!
You don't have to give up Windows to switch to a
Mac.
Odd as it may seem, Windows and the Mac OS
can peacefully coexist on the same Apple
computer. If you don't want to give up on your
favorite Windows programs, you can have the best
of both worlds now. We can set you up and show
you how.
Clearly, we're unabashed Mac lovers, but we do understand Windows. Take our word for it. You'll prefer Mac over Windows. In fact, we'll give any switcher one hour of free Mac training (assuming, of course, you hire us to help you make the switch)!
