As much as we would like to have KittyNinja in the workshop she is not ESD (Electro Static Discharge) compliant and could actually harm a computer due to static shock. She is not happy about this.

We work and live in Lithgow
We moved to Lithgow just after the last fire was put out, in the middle of the first floods and 6 weeks before COVID-19. Once the plague came to town, the tech shop he worked for shut down and Kevin was made redundant. During his panic to find another job he noted that there was not a shop within a two-hour drive that has his level of skill with Apple systems. After some careful planning, Marc and Kevin decided to open MacMason providing training & repair services.
