"I have appreciated Ray's personal and always personable service. Ray dashes out on his motorcycle in the deepest, darkest Auckland winter rains to help at some wayward computer crash, often with exceptionally short notice. The phone service is free and the rates are very reasonable. Advice is rendered with good humour and cordiality.

"In a business where some computer technicians become arrogant, expensive and exclusive I have found that Ray remains down to earth, easy to work with, and reliable and it is not hard to consider him a friend even though my main contact has been when I have a computer break down."

"I have found Work n Play extremely helpful over the years with perhaps the two attributes most important to me being your intimate knowledge of the Apple systems and the instant accessibility of the backup services.

"Look forward to our continued association."

"Ray is more practical than a Swiss Army knife. Reliable, dependable, he makes large problems small which he fixes promptly and without fuss. The Work n Play service is fabulous."

"Because I am in my 70s I did not find it at all easy to have to gain a completely new mind set, and virtually an entirely new vocabulary, this was not easy and initially I found communication quite hard because of so many 'new' words and meanings.

"Work and play have always been at my disposal. Ray has 'talked me through' many problems, has called in to adjust other problems, and has cheerfully and reasonably kept me on track.

"I would recommend unreservedly 'Work n Play' to any elderly person who wants to have 'a go'. Recently I purchased a new Apple Mac from Work n Play and a printer. I am entirely satisfied with both."

"Very good telephone support. Very knowledgeable and also patient and friendly (very important!). I enjoy the personal approach and also flexibility. Prices are (still) reasonable and fair.

"Fortunately hasn't quite lost his sense of humour about his very PC approach re software usage..."

"I would like to confirm my appreciation of the service provided by [Work n Play] in guiding me in the operation of an eMac computer. Firstly his advice and service in supplying a new eMac together with the help in setting up the computer together with Internet connection has been much appreciated.

"With my limited computer activity as a retired person using it to date for word processing, emailing, and downloading digital photos, I have always received very prompt and obliging response to any problems that I have experienced,

"I sincerely hope Ray that you continue with the good work and receive just rewards."

"I like dealing with you because I believe your advice and hardware/software prices are fair. I never feel ripped off by you even if I don't always understand the language you use. However I wouldn't say you are a computer geek because I actually understand SOME of what you are saying."

"Being now an Eighty year old who uses my iMac constantly, I often have little problems. Many of these I manage to solve, mainly by accident…You are the only one that I know who is able to help when things go horribly wrong."


Aletia Hudson

Camera Assistant

"Work n Play have been great. Communication has always been clear and encouraging. I was not very computer literate, dealing with Ray I now feel confident that I can maximize the use of all the latest technologies. Ray has always been available to help. So glad I found Work n Play, my work systems are now professional and simple"

"The sudden onset of RSI two years ago led my physio to suggest that dictation software could be the answer to my problems. Ray supplied me with iListen, installed it on my iMac, and has provided all the needed backup — and then some.

"As a digitally-challenged person (in both senses of the word) I really needed his help. To begin with I struggled to get the computer to understand me — I have this problem with humans as well — but Ray patiently returned to my home again and again to help straighten matters out, and the system is now working very well indeed.

"If you don't enjoy pounding away at a keyboard, and fancy the idea of doing your typing with arms folded while gazing out the window, then I strongly recommend iListen software, and Ray."

"You have been tremendously helpful and generous with your time. It is a pleasure to have my questions answered real quick by a real nice person with real expertise. Love your emails — personal, detailed, yet humorous.

"Don't change!"
