Re: Techie question
And another thing, if you're going into the PC repair business/hobby, it's quite fun and challenging. BUT,, you will want a dedicated bench/spare desk to do troubleshooting. Trust me......taking down your system to mount the clients system gets old VERY quick. You will also want a functioning backup PC that has internet connection and is up-to-date with AV, anti-malware, anti-spyware. This backup PC also needs to have a good data recovery app. I can't tell you how many times that people have wanted their photos recovered,,,,they didn't really care about any other info on the crashed HDD,,,they wanted the photos.
One more thing....make it your policy to NOT set up Parental Controls for anyone. Make the client learn how to do this, because if YOU set up the controls, and something pornograhic or icky gets thru.....it's YOUR fault. Trust me, make the client set up parental controls.
