Family owned since 2003
Blending integrity with technology, character and honesty.
That line has been on our wall since the beginning, and it is not marketing. It is the reason a retired architect, a university office and an Episcopal school have all been calling the same phone number for over a decade.

Our story
Twenty-three years on one platform
Mac and More Systems is a team of highly trained Apple consultants. We use our knowledge and experience of the Apple platform to help our customers develop solutions for all things Apple — and we have been doing exactly that, in Tallahassee, since 2003.
When we started, an Apple owner in North Florida with a broken Mac had one realistic option: pack it up and ship it to California, at considerable cost and inconvenience. One of our longest-standing customers, a retired architect who has used Apple equipment since 1994, still describes that era in exactly those terms. Being able to walk into a shop on John Knox Road instead was, and remains, the entire point of this business.
We are the region’s Apple specialists with both hardware and software knowledge under one roof. We assist clients with sales, repairs, tutoring and consulting, and we serve North Florida and Southwest Georgia — home consumers, small businesses, enterprise and education alike.
We work together to further each other’s goals while applauding and encouraging each of our successes, and we demonstrate our professionalism through our attitudes and our exhibition of integrity. Our clients appreciate consistency with our service and expect excellence in our results. Continued education provides an abundant source of innovation used to assist our clients with their technology needs.
We were formerly Mac Business Systems. Some of our customers still call us that, and we do not mind in the least.
Our values
Three words, and what they cost us
Integrity
We take seriously the trust and responsibility our clients put in us — not only to repair, but to safeguard their personal property. Your Mac holds your work, your photographs and your private life, and it is treated that way.
Character
Being authentic with our values as representatives of Mac and More Systems. That means the same answer to everyone, whether you are a first-time iPad owner or a school district.
Honesty
We lay out every option available to you, including the ones we do not profit from. We have referred people elsewhere when that got them the better outcome, and we would do it again tomorrow.
Our team
The people who will actually pick up
No call centre, no ticket queue. Three names, three email addresses, and one phone number that has not changed in twenty years.

Testimonials
In our customers’ own words
Every one of these is a real, named person with a job title. We have not anonymised anybody, because we do not need to.
I have been a continuous user of Apple/Macintosh equipment since 1994, and in the early years there was not a factory approved technician available. It was necessary to ship your computer back to California at considerable cost and inconvenience. For the past several years Greg Colovos, Apple Certified and owner of Mac and More Systems, has provided Apple equipment owners with prompt repairs at their home or business or his shop — his workmanship has been superior and his charges reasonable. Tallahassee and surrounding areas are blessed.
Charles R. Yates, A.I.A.Architect (Retired) I highly recommend Mac and More Systems! They are very personable and professional. Our office is located in Tallahassee and we do not have the technical support provided at USF campuses. Mac and More Systems provides the support and professional expertise our office requires. They currently provide support to our 15 Mac stations and laptops.
Marsha StuddardStudent Support Services, University of South Florida For more than seven years Holy Comforter Episcopal School has depended on Mac and More Systems for service and support. We have always received exceptional service. Their knowledge of Macs is unsurpassed, their staff is friendly and helpful, and they are just good people. It is my pleasure to highly recommend them. Don’t let anyone else touch your Mac!
Paul FitzgeraldDirector of Technology, Holy Comforter Episcopal School I have been using Mac and More Systems’ services both at work and at home for over 10 years. Always dependable, knowledgeable and friendly, Mac and More Systems is my business “partner.” Because of Mac and More Systems, troubleshooting and repairing problems related to my work Mac and my home Macs are things I don’t need to worry about. We are lucky to have them in Tallahassee.
Georgia Murphy, MFAGovernment Operations Consultant III, Office of Communications and Program Marketing I was the media specialist at a local elementary school when assigned the additional duty of tech coordinator. I was overwhelmed with tech questions and problems when in walked Greg, who offered his help. He subsequently stopped by every morning for months and spent time with me every day, volunteering his knowledge and expertise in troubleshooting our system with over 100 iMacs in operation. Greg and Laura are caring professionals committed to outstanding service. They are always courteous and eager to help while providing fast service.
