Andrew Johnston (Managing Director / Owner)

A support specialist with over 30 years experience in the computer, software and internet industries. My primary focus is making technology work for you, so you can experience the upside of computing, not the down time associated with system failures.

With proper maintenance of your equipment and by carefully crafting any new solutions you may require, you can more effectively benefit from the technologies in your environment.

Although we are seen to be an Apple centric store, we have dealerships for most every brand of Windows computer too. As we are solution providers, we have no exclusive relationships to any particular vendor and our recommendations will be based solely on your needs and the suitability of the solution to matches your needs. This allows us to pick from the best solutions available from all vendors.

As the founder and chief technical architect of the Internet in the Hawke’s Bay region, I have a proven track record in providing solutions that work. Ranging from the supply of personal laptops to the architecture of complex networks. I cater to home and mobile workers and offer solutions that work. These solutions have benefited both local and national organisations of varying sizes.

Macro operates a full in-house web server (using Microsoft Server technologies) for special projects and would be happy to host a website for you.

Perhaps most importantly, the server is run in-house and locally supported by Andrew.
