What price level is best for a monthly computer maintenence service?

Posted by: Don  :  Category: Computer Support
vark114 asked:


I want to offer a service to maintain PC users computers. This is a proactive method, ensure things like Anti-virus, anti-spyware is running properly, security updates complete. Most work done remotely by logging in through the client modem/router to the PC.

Current client has 5 children, and wants their activity monitored, parents are not computer literate. I have the methods, the skills, and the tools to check all activities and security components on today’s PC’s.

Will people pay $19.95/month for me to ensure the computer stays running (longer) than it would without the service? Not guaranteed if they do certain “bad” things..”, disable anti-virus, use lots of file sharing (viruses..), etc. Alerts on the above.

Would also offer a discount on services, like upgrades, free email support, install new software, trip charge, recommendations, hardware replace - all discounted deeply with plan.

What do you think? Is there a set of services and a price level that will sell > $10/mo.

Why do Dell computers with Windows cost less than Dell’s with Ubuntu?

Posted by: Don  :  Category: Desktops
rf186 asked:


Dell sells computers preloaded with Windows XP & Vista and have also recently started selling PC’s preloaded with Ubuntu & FreeDOS.
The problem is that the computers preloaded with a Open Source (free) OS cost slightly more than the same computer preloaded with Windows?
I would think that this would be the other way around, especially since Linux is a free operating system, that they would pass on those savings to the consumer.

Thinking of starting my own technology firm (computer networking). What should I need to get started?

Posted by: Don  :  Category: Computer Networking
Mean Geno asked:


Besides money, what do you all recommend? Here in town, there is only one competitor. I plan to only hire two to three people, that way I can pay them a good salary and also be able to make a profit for myself.

My firm would specialize in networking busineses, repairing their computers. But I mostly want to stay in the networking area.

If anyone out there has a technology firm, I would appreciate an estimate of how much your company makes a year, and how much you would pay your employees.

Thanks

Can a dell bluetooth module be used in non dell computers?

Posted by: Don  :  Category: Desktops
red asked:


I have one of those dell bluetooth modules +card readers in a dell computer. I tried transferring it to a new computer. (it hooked in via usb on the motherboard) yet it doesn’t seem to want to recognize it. Is there something that prevents it from being used on a non dell computer?
Thanks for the answers so far. I did attempt to install the drivers but the blue led on the module that indicates its on wont come illuminate. So the drivers would not install until I could get that light to come one. It doesn’t show up in device manager either.
