Walking Wired Consulting

Computer Consulting
I keep up on trends and technology so you don't have to. My role is to solve problems and answer questions.

Often I arrive and clients have a long list of computer questions. We sit down, prioritize them and begin the process of answering them. Sometimes I provide training, for example how to use features of a web site or how to get photos off their new camera. Other times I dive into the old desktop PC that's got a long list of ailments. I can also review a computer system and make suggestions for getting more life out of it. Most of the time my work with clients is a mix of everything.

I also provided assistance with getting different devices to work together: getting the phone numbers on your computer onto your cell phone, getting your MP3 music files to play on your stereo, using your your computer to make your phone more useful. I have helped several clients buy and install new home theater systems too.

Install wireless networks	It's easy and relatively inexpensive to have a network in your home with WiFi. If you have more than one computer in your house and have trouble getting online, a wireless network can help you share files and share a broadband connection to the Internet.
Recommend new computer systems	I help clients get just the computer equipment they need by asking questions and listening. I can help with desktop PCs, laptops, printers, scanners and the rest.
Move data from old systems	Afraid of losing your data? Not sure how to get your bookmarks from your old system to your new system? I can help with all this. I've helped several clients feel confident in getting rid of old computers.
Recommend software solutions	One client says, "I can't manage my photos." I provided a solution. Another says, "Everybody in the office needs to be able to look at each other's calendars." I gave them a low-cost, low-maintenance solution using off-the-shelf software. A small business client was overwhelmed by his accounting software, so he was using increasingly cumbersome spreadsheets. I worked with him to set up a system and trained him to use it. His life is easier with my help.
Recommend PDAs	I help clients move into the digital age. They get rid of their paper organizers and begin life with a lot more information at their fingertips. I specialize in PalmOne (formerly Palm) handheld personal digital assistants, but can also advise about Windows PDAs.
Recommend Digital Cameras	I help clients sort out the details and make decisions about digital cameras. I have a photography background and education.
