Silver Surfers PC Support - at special rates
-
Are you over 50 and think you came late to computers?
-
Do you need help, but feel unwilling to "show your ignorance" in front of a young "whizz-kid"?
-
On top of that, are you worried that a whizz-kid would leave you feeling even more confused and out of touch?
Just because you don't know a dongle from a router doesn't mean that you are lacking anything at all other than that specific piece of information. All it really means is that you've probably been spending your life attending to more meaningful things.
Why Me?
I, myself, am 57 years old. I have been working with PCs in a professional capacity since 1984 so I have 26 yrs pro PC experience. Most of my clients range in age from their 40's to 70's (but I do also have at least two clients in their 80's).
I can offer you one-to-one support specific to your own questions and needs. One of my introductory comments to all new clients is "Don't be afraid to ask anything you like. Not knowing something does not mean you are stupid. It just means you don't know something". If you pay me to help you then it's YOUR questions and problems that are important. It's not my job to fill you up with all the geeky junk I've picked up over the years. It's my job to help you to feel more confident and comfortable with your computer system by addressing your own questions, problems, and needs.
Why You?
I like working with - shall we say - more mature people. Senior citizens and London Silver Surfers make great clients. They are always more polite, friendlier, and less pushy than thrusting, hurrying youngsters in their 20's and 30's. Also, of course, I have much more in common with people nearer my own age. All of this tends to make my job easier and more satisfying. For that reason, I am happy to offer Silver Surfers a £10 discount on my normal hourly rate (see Fees for full details - some discount rates may be less than £10 per hour below normal). You don't have to produce your bus pass to gain this rate (!), but there are three conditions:
- You have to be happy that you are implicitly telling me that you are at least 50 years old
- You must not be using your computer system in connection with full-time employment
- You must ask for this special rate. I won't offer it unless you ask as I won't risk insulting you by suggesting you are a "Silver Surfer" in case either you are younger than you look or are in denial!
OK, so what can I help you with? Do you need:
- PC support for a major problem or
- PC support for a range of issues - even just a pile of niggling ones
- Help with various aspects of your system so that you feel more comfortable and confident that it is working well, will continue to work well, and is as safe as practicably possible from online threats, or
- Training in specific aspects of your system
- Regular or occasional support for things that may crop up in the future or
- Advice regarding upgrades, add-ons
Assuming that you are:
- Within two hours travelling time of Clapham (London SW4) and
- Using Windows (not Mac) and
- Not using a server-based network
Then:
- Submit the form below now and I will get back to you as soon as possible
or
- Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 - telephone me on 020 7627 8620 or 07961 387564 for a free chat to discuss how I can help you. Please leave a message if I am not available: I will return your call as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can text me on 07961 387564.
