For $45, today's side deal gets you one hour of personal in-home computer service and support from Alamo Mac and PC (a $110 value). Your Groupon is good for the assistance you may require with your home computer, including preventative maintenance, data recovery, network installation, general training, and more. If you desire or require additional face time with your expert, your Groupon grants you an exclusive rate of $75 for each additional hour. This Groupon is not valid for the purchase of any hardware; it is valid for customers within the Loop 1604 area—call Alamo Mac and PC for details.

Use this opportunity to clean up and speed up a well-worn machine or to familiarize yourself with a recently acquired technological upgrade such as a new operating system, supplemental hard drive, or entirely new computer. Likewise, if you or a loved one suffers from technological-defective disorder, help coo the digital memories back to life with Alamo Mac and PC's disaster-recovery task force.

Even if your trusty computer is currently coasting smoothly, the rapid growth rate in the high-tech world can quickly decrease the advantage you have against ever-demanding upgrades and installments. Plan ahead for a potential bump in the performance road with this emergency geek-hour, which can be redeemed anytime over the next six months.
