- Mia taught me everything I know about computers. When I started several years, I needed to manage a mailing list for a small professional organization, and to keep its financial records on QuickBooks. But before starting, I needed to learn the basics of making a document, saving it, and filing it in a way I would be able to retrieve it at a later date. Mia was recommended to me by a friend who had similar needs. Mia’s computer knowledge is vast and is always up to date. But I was mainly impressed with her as a teacher. She can deal with her students at their level, give them the confidence they need and release them to the work when they’ve mastered the task in question. She is always prompt and reliable. She is a person with whom it is very easy to get along. I recommend her highly. ~ Moustapha Abou-Samra, MD | Neurosurgeon, Ventura, CA
- I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mia Jones for over 14 years.

I would highly recommend Mia for any of your IT needs she is excellent in the Computer Technology business. ~ Arlene Villarreal, Office manager, Dr. Terry Cole, MD | OB-GYN Surgery, Ventura, CA
, - Because I’m no techie, Mia is my lifeline when my computer becomes stubborn or downright resistant to my entreaties. Admittedly, I sometimes view my computer as the enemy. That’s when Mia steps in, walking me through the conciliation process. In the last year due to Covid, we have used the telephone to communicate while Mia jumps into my computer to fix the problem, but whether she is here at my home or counseling me long distance, her signature sentence (the one that precedes all remedies) is always the same: “Write this down.” That works. - Joan Cathcart, Channel Islands, CA
- I've known Mia for ten years plus. As the brains behind "ComputerCats," she's rescued my computer remotely from numerous threats/problems a half-a-dozen times between her annual visits to bring my computer up-to-date and running like new. Once, when that couldn't be done, she recommended a replacement, then came to our home to install the one we chose, connect it, transfer files and problem solve, before giving us a "tour," answering questions, etc... to our satisfaction. Mia is smart, patient, congenial & courteous. Her IT advice has always been "spot-on," and I recommend her without reservation.

- I have referred many friends to Mia because she is fast, she does much more than requested in order to get the best performance from my equipment, she never makes me feel like the computer illiterate that I really am, and my computer is always much happier (and faster) when she leaves.

- Mia has been a life saver on more than one occasion. Sometimes she has been able to solve my problems quickly by phone or by logging in to my computer. With more complicated situations, she comes quickly, explains clearly, and does what needs to be done. She helped me find a new computer when my old one gave out and helped me choose laptops for family members as well. Her prices are fair and reasonable, and I’m not sure what I would do without her. - Marcia Marshall, Minneapolis, MN
- Mia Jones, of ComputerCats, is the ideal IT professional for the professional who is passionate about doing his or her own creative work, and resents being bogged down and even threatened by the challenges involved in making that work public and accessible through constantly changing technology. Not only does she have the expertise to make almost any piece of hardware of software work for you (and as economically as possible), she is also capable of giving you step-by-step directions in plain, clear language so that you can maintain, all by yourself, the program or process she has put in place. If you’re frustrated with the technology gurus who make it all seem mysterious and beyond your reach, then reach out to Mia. I couldn't be more satisfied. - Coach Lynette Crane, Creative Life Changes, Minneapolis, MN
- Mia is the ultimate Computer Tutor. Her knowledge, guidance, patience and temperament make her the perfect teacher. I knew absolutely nothing about the computer sixteen years ago and because of Mia I can honestly say that I am now fairly “computer savvy” including understanding and implementing the use of programs such as Print Master, Quicken and online banking. It has been an honor and pleasure to know her professionally and personally. - Dr. Richard & Lori Reisman, Camarillo, CA
- Mia has been my Computer Cat for many years. She keeps my computer safe and up to date.
