Service as in...someone who needs help with upgrading computers like mac pro.
 
i mean...like..paying for the service to have them do hands on upgrade...I don't know if MR has that yet...
No this is an online forum. We've never done anything like that and I don't think it'll ever happen.

I know...was just asking...

I feel that would be an open invitation to spam. I wouldn't want to see such a thing happen here.
I would think it would happen...but the reason i suggested this is because people in MR would more likely have better knowledge to aid in doing something like this.

geez, such a negative and one side response to your request. I can definitely see the need for a more service oriented community - the ACN (apple consultants network) provides really no advantages to end users, and service providers could be just as sketchy as someone off craigslist...something more interactive and useful to those who may need help locally would be an interesting concept...with proven forum post track records and a way to verify certifications at least would be one way to mitigate. but yeah there are other services out there to help with requests...though it may have been nice to have a trusted community of help..but with the way macrumors is going with the attitude and moral of its users...quite hardly unfortunately.
