“Thank you for everything. You knew the answers to everything I asked plus you did so in a very patient manner. In addition, you offered to move my Favorites into my new PC, which I had meant to ask about but had forgotten to. I learned so much from you as I continually bombarded you with questions. I now feel much more confident about my new PC and Windows 8.1. Both you, Chris, and Mike, are the absolute best!””
— Nancy C from Mendota Heights, MN
“Mike helped with setting up new computer, transferring data over from old computer, and making sure everything was running as expected - in our home. It took him 2-1/2 hrs to complete all. We are extremely pleased with his promptness, efficiency, and proficiency. He explained things in laymans terms as he was working. A couple of email questions after he left our home and all is working terrific. He even took the time to help with an issue my husband was having with our tv. I will not hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone needing computer help.”

— Paula D. from Northfield, MN

“Mom and I were at Kusske Financial Services this week, and we were admiring the screen on the wall that displayed fall pictures and quotations. Lu started describing how much they liked their tech guy and Mom and I knew it had to be you. Every time I discover people who know you, I proudly state my connection to your family. I am so glad to see how well your business has grown in such a short time! ”
— Holly J. from Farmington, MN

I also take the One to One classes at the Apple Store and they are very helpful, but you have a real talent for making technical things clear that many instructors lack no matter how knowledgable they may be. I’m very much looking forward to next weeks class and I’m trying to clear my schedule for the final class as well.”
— Ron P. from Eden Prairie, MN

Mike explains things so even a non-technical person can understand what he is doing. He is extremely knowledgable, and I look forward to working with him in the future. I feel very fortunate to have found Mike to help me with my computer needs. (Plus he’s a quality individual to boot. He truly is a nice guy!)”

“Like a lot of women my age I am trying so hard to stay current with digital technology. Now that Mike has come into my life I am actually enjoying all of it. I call him “my Mac Wizard”.

Mike is an excellent teacher and he has made this so much fun for me. Thank you over and over again, Mike!”
— Nancy T. from Edina, MN

Thanks again for all your good work with getting my computers updated and fixed up - they are working great (and so much faster) and I like what I see with Lion so far.

— Rebecca S. from Eagan, MN
“Mike helped upgrade our Mac with new ram and a new operating system this past month. It’s like having a new computer. Not only did he do a great job, but he also explained many new features on the system. We were very impressed with his knowledge and expertise. If you want someone to do super work for you and take the time to help you, I would not hesitate to call Mike. Also, look for classes he offers through community ed., they’re very good.”
— Ray N. from Farmington, MN
“I knew who Mike was from our church. After hauling my computer into a local shop for a minor fix – I ended up with major computer/printer problems. One Sunday, I saw Mike at church and just happened to ask if he worked on computers in the home. We set up a time and day right there (he came when he said he would – some repair people don’t). He solved all the problems and everything is working great. So I’m telling everyone I know to call Mike Pahl “Nice Guy Technology” for all your computer problems. He really is nice and smart too.”
— Blanche R. from Farmington, MN
“I met Mike through my nephew. I was excited to learn he was a “techie” since I was in need of help. Mike was very easy to connect with and we got an appointment set up right away. Mike helped to transfer all my music to mp3 files and he worked with me on transferring videos from my video camera and turning them into DVD’s. He patiently walked me through all the steps so that I could make my own DVD’s in the future. I would recommend Mike to anyone. He is great!”
— Tricia M. from Farmington, MN

“Mike teaches the iPad classes at the Senior Hertiage Center in Lakeville. He is very knowledgeable, organized, and patient. I was so impressed with Mike that I had him come to our home to help my husband and myself with numerous technology problems. We made a list of seven things ahead of time and he went through them one by one. In two and a half hours he was able to handle each of them (PC, iPad and projection TV). We were so grateful for his help. He is a very impressive young man and certainly knowledgeable in his field. We would certainly recommend him to anyone.”

— Suzanne P. from Northfield, MN
“Mike is AWESOME!!!! My husband and I were devastated after a virus made some of our most prized files disappear. We thought we had lost family photos and videos forever!! I asked Mike if there was any chance of ever finding these files. He spent a few hours on my computer and worked his magic. Our files were recovered and he updated my virus software so that our computer would be safe from any upcoming harm!!
Thanks Mike! We were so relieved to have wedding pictures and videos of our grandparents back!! We really appreciate you!”
— Erin S. from Cottage Grove, MN

— Arlene S. from Cannon Falls, MN

“I feel so much “smarter” on the iPad since the first class and really appreciate how you present the material in an easy-to-understand way!”
— Marybeth B. from Eden Prairie, MN
“I learned so much during your class. You are very patient while we older adults come into the age of all these cool gizmos. I appreciated the fact that you kept control of the class and not letting people take you off track. I will be watching to take more classes next fall after I have practiced what you taught us. I found that in just playing with it, helped me know a bit more as to where I was going before the class. ”
— Diane K. from Farmington, MN
“This was a wonderful class! I have owned and used my iPad 2 since summer 2011, and this was just what I needed - a comprehensive introduction that will let me work with my iPad in a much more integrated way. Your pace, examples, and in class tasks were great. I look forward to the second class next week!”
— Student from Northfield, MN
“Mike has helped my husband and I out with our computer problems a couple times now and I sure appreciate his work ethic and his expertise. He has saved us from needing to purchase a new desktop computer (ours is 8 years old) and has helped us adapt a new laptop into our lifestyle. We are seniors and our knowlege of computers is limited and yet he has been patient and makes our questions seem valid. Give Nice Guy Technology a try and see that the name truly fits Mike.”
— Marilyn E. from Farmington, MN
“I guess I see you as sort of my go-to person for anything internet or business related. You always seem to be able to offer great insight and make things more “consumable” for me.”
— Kari C. from Northfield, MN

— Vi S. from Shakopee, MN
“I met Mike while he was working at the Apple Store. He helped me and I realized right away that he was one of those rare tech geniuses that don’t make you feel stupid when you don’t know every detail of your computer or how to use all the programs that came with your computer. Mike is encouraging, patient and somehow makes you feel smart!
Later, I was having trouble with my laptop, and Mike came to the rescue. I invited him to my home to install some memory for me. My friends are jealous that I have found someone trustworthy to help me anytime I have computer woes! I HIGHLY recommend Mike to anyone who would like to get computer service!”
