I supplement my income now much as I did when I was a teenager. Back then, I mowed lawns. Now I help people with computer problems.

I do a lot of things. I know Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX, and the Debian-based variants of Linux. I can install hardware, move you from an old computer to a new one, or help you make something work. Generally, whatever people do using a computer at home falls within my area of expertise. I also act as a purchasing consultant for people buying computers or associated equipment for the home. Basically, you can hire me as your computer geek friend for the evening.

I am not a computer consulting company. I am a guy with a modicum of knowledge and experience who is available after business hours to help people with computer problems. I am generally pretty busy, but I do set appointments for the next 90 days.

If you would like my help, please forgive me, but I have just a very few hard and fast rules:

1. I am just a guy who does a little free-lance computer handy-man work on the side. I am not the person to rely upon for some mission-critical functionality or equipment. If you need someone to be on-call for troubleshooting 24/7/365, keep looking. Those people are a lot more expensive than I am.
2. I charge $80/hour for working on-site and $60/hour remotely (over the phone, Internet, or some combination).
3. I accept payment by Pay Pal and in cash.
4. Payment is desired at the time of our appointment.
5. I will gladly hand-write a receipt and provide information for a 1099 if you require such, but I do not bill. If you need a bill from your consultant, see Rule #1.
6. There is no Rule #6.
7. I prefer to work on Wednesday and/or Friday evenings in Manhattan.

I have these rules to keep my services as inexpensive as possible. If that works for you, please feel free to contact me so we can discuss your problem.
