"Serving the client, not the machine"

I'm Steve Rogers, trading as The Difference Engine,
and I offer an Apple and Android help service.

If you need help choosing what to buy, installing & setting up, one-to-one training, troubleshooting or telephone support, I can help you.

I charge £30 per hour for all productive work, plus travel at cost. Follow-up support by phone or email is free.

"Steve Rogers of The Difference Engine has been looking after my computer - in fact a succession of computers - for the past seven years and I wouldn't dream of letting anybody else touch them. What I appreciate about Steve's work is that he does exactly what I ask him to do and nothing else. I.e., no unnecessary extras. What's more, he explains everything in terms that the non-technical minded can understand and I assure you that if I can understand it, anybody can!"

"Thank you for coming so promptly to sort-out my Mac and for the help in configuring it to my own requirements. It is running like a dream and with the addition of the extra Memory you recommended the speed is much faster than anything I have experienced before. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone using Mac systems."
Jim Brown (photographer & graphic designer)

"For over 10 years The Difference Engine managed our media output, from Web design & catalogues to point of sale products. Their professional and cost effective service has been invaluable to the growth and success of our business."
Liam Fraser, Earl's Performance Products UK Ltd (motorsport supplier)

"Steve has been my main computer adviser/trouble shooter for many years. His knowledge and expertise has saved me ££s as well as time. I can strongly recommend him for being reliable and very professional."
Rob Long, Education Works (educational consultancy) www.roblong.co.uk

"We enjoyed working with Steve, his creativity and knowledge made the process a pleasure."
Carol Asuray, Sea Gypsies (performance group)

"Difference Engine got us started on the web with a great value, first design for a basic web page. Steve helped us choose an ISP, set up our domain name registration and got us up and running quickly and efficiently. A friendly, easy to use service." Jon Croose, Artistic Director, Means of Production (theatre workshops) www.means-of-production.co.uk

"I have called on Steve Rogers' effective and fast technical support for a number of years. Not only is Steve’s technical ability and 'know how' reliable, his consistently calm and cheerful attitude is also. This is a bonus as any loss of faith in self, computer or humour (which anyone dependent on computers in their work will know can be pushed to the edge) is restored."
