If your computer has ever broken down you will have discovered that there are few choices for qualified technicians in town. Computers are complicated yet simple devices with a lot of links in the chain which make it work effectively and efficiently - break one of those links and it all turns to custard. What is really important when getting someone to fix your computer is that you must ensure they are suitably qualified rather than someone who "knows a little bit about how they work". Just like when you get sick you don't go to your local mechanic to get fixed up, or if your car is broken down you don't take it to your local doctor for repairs. Right now, in Narooma, there are a number of people offering computer repair services who are unqualified. There are some who will come to your house and dicide what software you should have (according to their preferences) and start deleting stuff they don't think you need. The unqalified technician might actually fix your problem, but more often than not they make things worse or don't fix the original problem at all - and then charge you a fortune. You might find someone who works at another store in town and fixes computers on the side, they might drive the Garbage Truck on Monday and fix your PC on Tuesday, they might sell you load of bread on Wednesday and fix your PC on Thursday - they see it as a good way to charge $50.00 or more per hour as extra income. They see the big bucks and beleive they're entitled to earn good money without having done the hard work training and getting proper qualifications. Craig, a local technician for eight years and in the industry for 22 years, is qualified and is tired of turning up at customers homes only to be told "we had someone else look at it but it still doesn't work and we were charged a lot of money!". Craig is a programmer (5 languages), Certified Networking Engineer, has written qualifications and has done the hard yards in the field. He has run some of the biggest systems in the country and made a name for himself around the world as a quality programmer producing top notch software. Your computer repair person should have a business, qualifications, and experience. They shouldn't be someone who does it part time as a hobby or a quick money spinner. If you need a computer repair, don't waiste time with wanna-be computer guys - find someone who knows what they're doing - PLEASE. You're only making life harder for yourself if you don't. Call Craig on 0402 411136 from Moruya to Bermagui - based in Narooma.
