First off: I'm sorry if 'Pro' Mac users sounds condescending. I only mean it to mean those who use a Mac day in, day out to earn a living, that's all.
We're in the process of finding a new London-based firm that will do hardware & software support on a 2-4 hour call-out. Our current lot are a bit clueless when it comes to OS X and furthermore, have us tied into a yearly contract which was negotiated before my time and is a huge waste of money as we rarely need their services since moving to OS X and new hardware.
What kind of software/hardware are you running and what kind of support do you have when something goes wrong? Any recommendations as what to look for when looking for a new support deal? Are hourly deals better than a fixed-term contract? Does your support extend to peripherals or just the Apple stuff?
In short, please share anything that might be useful, interesting or even entertaining to read about your Mac support experiences.
Thanks in advance.
