No need for Cable TV

For about 2 years now we have not had Cable TV.   Our bill was at one point about $170 per month, without pay per view.   Right now we pay about $40.00 per month for antenna, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime Video, and about 5 - 10 subscriptions to TV shows and movies we like.  

We watch a moderate amount of TV, my wife would have you beleive otherwise, without much sports or specialty channels, i.e. Home and Garden TV, Spike TV, etc.  We get almost every show we want, though sometimes delayed, but always at the time that we want it.  We watch on our computers, or on our Roku Player.  

Based on the cost savings and on the ease of use I would urge everyone to check out one of these options.  Is this change for everyone, no it is not, but it is worth looking into. 

P.S.   Here is a great article about this, Cutting the cable cord is a young trend going in the right direction

You should know how to check your oil

Yes, not everybody knows how to check their oil, but most of us do. The same goes for your computer.

Your may want to have a basic idea of how your computer works. This knowledge is not so much for the purpose of starting a technology career, it is so that you can save money, save time, and have some confidence in what your are doing with your computer.

I an not asking you to replace a transmission, and you don't have to do anything if you don't want to. I get my car fixed at a garage, I am not a mechanic.

What keeps me happy though is I have a basic knowledge of how my cars works. This allows me to weigh repair options, have confidence in the work to be preformed, and understand the possible outcomes of dirfferent repair options. This does not mean sometimes I do not take the car in and say "I don't care how, make it work!"

We serve a wide range of clients who want to know as much or as little ("I don't care how, make it work!") concerning the operation of their computer or device. Our goal is to provide you with the service that best meets your needs.    Contact us today to find out how we can work together.
