Have you ever needed help to resolve a pc issue in a timely manner? Do technology and 'techie' words bother you? What about accessories and gadgets, do you know what works with what? Well, SoftStart, Inc. can make it all 'simple' for you. I've worked directly with the owner, Mara, and her skills, patience and expertise, are second to none...

In addition to her hard work with her business, she is also a moderator on two Blackberry sites — Crackberry.com and TuneUsIn.com, offering free services of support to all walks of life...

She has been featured in Forbes regarding her Blackberry and is also "Dear Berry", which is a column for Crackberry's.

There aren't enough superlatives to praise Mara Blumenthal of SoftStart for her consultation on computer matters. From choosing the right computer system, to setting it up, teaching me how to use it, trouble shooting, she has been terrific! She is responsible, knowing just important it is to have the systems up and running, problem-free. I recommend her highly!

Softstart's service continues to be above and beyond expectations, particularly in moments of high level stress within the world of PCs. They always treat their clients with the utmost respect without talking down to those of us who know so very little about software and the workings of our computers. After a decade of working with Softstart, I will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of computer support: buying a new PC; setting up a PC; detangling mistakes we all make with our PCs; and guidelines of software recommendations. They will get you through the rough spots and into the easy mode of life with your PC!

Mara does a wonderful work contributing not only as a moderator at CrackBerry.com, but also as a columnist, "Dear Berry". We couldn't be happier with her dedication and contributions to CrackBerry.com. She always does a great job!"

I conduct a college counseling business out of my home. I honestly couldn't do it without Mara! Besides coming to my rescue whenever I have a computer problem, she comes to my home each January to insure that all my programs and security systems are in place for the coming year. Often new programs are added and old ones revised.

Mara periodically sends tips to help me make the best use of my computer. She’Äôs my very own technology department.

Mara has an amazing talent-- the ability to take a complex technological problem and turn it into a simple and easy to understand solution.

Mara is a moderator at www.tuneusin.com which I founded. Her dedication and effectiveness has been extremely helpful. All I have to do is call on her and she responds. Knowledge of the computer industry and technological gadgets of all kinds comes very naturally to her and truly is her passion. I recommend Mara & Softstart to anyone who is looking for help with technology!
