In the local freebie papers are a number of classified's by self employed computer people offering Home Visit repair and advice services. I understand the going rate is usually £25 per hour or more, I have yet to meet anyone who has used these services. Usually everyone has a friend, or a friend of a friend to help out for free.
Our village comp. shop is about to close, can't compete with the big stores on accessories. Repairs, even reasonable prices and good service is not enough for some people. Times I've been in there and seen people come in looking for free advice and walk out without even buying a CD cover.
As the owner says, competing with helpful neighbours is impossible and computer fairs are no longer trade only.
Seems this is not an area of the computer industry recommended to make your fortune in.
My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.
