I help small businesses and individuals get the most out of their computer systems. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced user, whether you use a Microsoft Windows system or a Macintosh computer, I can help you with:
|
| Email - What is it? How does it work? How to set up a new email account, send and receive messages, manage your Address Book, and deal with those pesky attachments! |
|
|
Viruses - You want to protect your computer by getting the right software, keeping it up to date, and not living in fear. |
|
Maintenance - Should you turn your computer off each evening or leave it running 24 hours a day? What can you do to protect your investment and keep your computer running well? Do you need the latest software, or is your current setup sufficient? |
|
Junk email - Is your Inbox overflowing with junk? I can show you some techniques that can help!
|
Troubleshooting - Has your email stopped working? Is your printer acting strangely? Are you unable to find that document you were just working on? Either I can help, or I can recommend another consultant who can! |
|
Shared Internet - You’ve got more than one computer you want them all to access the Internet through your cable or DSL service. The computers may be scattered about, and it might not be easy to run wires to each one. Is wireless always the best choice?
|
Phone help - I don't even have to be there to help. If time is tight or you're far from Boston, we can set up software that, with your permission, lets me see your screen while we talk on the phone. This can make phone sessions much more productive. Then we turn the software off so no one else can use it. |
Backup - How can you protect your data from being lost? You don’t want to risk losing all of your work to date on the computer. |
|
The Internet - You’re ready to explore the Internet, or take advantage of email, but where do you begin? I can help you find the best Internet service for your needs, open a new account, get it set up on your computer, and teach you how to “surf the web.” |
