Testimonials
"For decades I did my own computer repairs and troubleshooting or dealt with computer firms with large advertising budgets. I tired of repeat visits to companies that failed to completely resolve my problems.
I contacted Haole Boy and I am glad I did. His service was prompt, complete and way below the rates of those I had used in the past. You have got to put this guy on your first and only call list when it comes to dealing with your computer challenges."
Don J. - Hawaii Kai
"The first time I called "Haole Boy" Computer Services, I was amazed with his speedy return call. He asked some questions about my problem . . . He made an appointment to come over that afternoon!
I was pleasantly surprised with his affordable rates, professional demeanor, and very comfortable personality to have in my home office. I highly recommend Harry Zisko and his excellent quality service for all your computer problems. I'm sure you'll be glad you did!"
T. Worth
“I highly recommend Harry because he has saved me from disaster several times. He works quickly and efficiently but takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. Best of all, he makes it all understandable to computer neophytes like me.”
- Lee S.
