I didn't know anything about Macs when I met Charles... working with LMC taught me to get the most out of my Mac (Dezi Koster, Redshift Technologies)


Charles found me a great deal on a Mac, set it up, taught me how to work with it, got me online... I recommend him to anyone! (Barry London, Barry London Enterprises)
I think the best compliment I have to offer is that I will call you again when I need help. (Sharon Robinson)

We are glad we called Lindauer Mac Consulting!
  Our Mac failed to boot up one morning and we were concerned that it may finally have 'given up the ghost'...
  It is a fairly old 'backup' machine running OS9 and although not critical, we do rely on it for some functions.
  Charles was able to get the OS back up and running in just a few hours, and we were back in business! Thank You!!
  Charles also checked the health of our primary OSX workstation and provided a maintenance tool that would allow us to keep it in good order. Thanks again Charles. I will not hesitate to recommend your services! (Mike Willete, Minuteman Press)


The network is working very well. It is stable and we have been able to function efficiently from the first day with the new system. In addition, our backup systems are in place and have also been easy to implement and have given us the level of protection I need.
  I appreciated your help and quick responses. I was able to complete the project on time due to your accessibility and knowledge of product. (Bruce Rieznman, Exec. Chec/Owner Park Avenue Catering)

Who is LMC?

Charles LindauerCharles Lindauer has been Macintosh computing since January, 1987. He works with a carefully selected collection of colleagues, and between them they can provide you with a wide range of experience and skills to deliver great solutions for your needs.

when, where, how?

Charles is a 30+ year Petaluma (Sonoma County, California)resident and a 20 year Mac User. In 1989 he started the first of several businesses that depended on Macintosh computers. In the mid '90s he found myself tapped by friends, acquaintances and even strangers for help with their Mac issues, and began consulting.

Lindauer Mac Consulting works with individuals from beginners to power-users, and businesses ranging from real estate investors to graphic design firms, publishing companies to chiropractors, educators to filmmakers.

In 2007 Charles was certified by Apple in OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and joined the Apple Consultants Network. His commitment to on-going education is strong, and every day he spends at least a little time learning more about Mac, web site construction and design, etc. He has since taken Apple's certification classes in OS X 10.4 and 10.5 Server, as well as advanced FileMaker development courses.

Typically Charles or a colleague will come to your site for troubleshooting, installation, set-up and training. They will do any necessary research prior to a visit, and will have any hardware and software required for optimum performance when they arrive.
