For the last 2 years, I have been working on my own running a small onsite computer biz…doing ok now, but who would nt like to work a little less and make a little more \ As of monday I take on a partner… Partner has access to funding… We are officially going storefront, probably within 60 days. Parts, orders already being built Fun begins soon, going shopping for location next week. ---

w00t!!! Great to hear that you are doing that well. Myself, I am doing some sub-consulting with a couple of older gentlemen… hopefully it will turn into some kind of mutual partnership or co-mingling of the two firms when they get ready to close their doors. I _still_ can’t believe I’m making my bills on self-employed income. 🙂 We must have a pic of the storefront !!! ---

I’d wish you luck but I don’t think that’s what you need. For running your own business you need stamina. If you make it to one year, I’ll buy you a case of Redbull. 😉 ---

So does this mean that you recovered from the theft of the tools from your car? I thought that you said at the time that it might kill your business. ---

[QUOTE=Dewey Finn] So does this mean that you recovered from the theft of the tools from your car? I thought that you said at the time that it might kill your business. [/QUOTE] Correct, scooped up most of the basic tools over the next few days. 90% of tech work is a screwdriver, had to do a lil old school teching for a bit, but I am pretty much up and running full speed again. I had a huge run of business right after that so much of my tool costs are already covered. Still need a new laptop but that can wait till the insurance settlement check shows. ---

Congratulations, drachillix! That stressed-out woman with the laptop and the PDA in hand, knocking and peering into the window of your as-yet unopened shop, that would be me. ---

AWESOME!! I’m so glad you’re doing that well. I must say that if I were in your area, I’d never try to fix my PC again, and just bring it in to you. I must ask, though, if this is the end of your on-site service. ---

I’ll just note that I’m disappointed. I was expecting something like pictures of kittens with pocket protectors, going from the title… ☹ ---
