I posted here
a couple of weeks ago about getting some new, state-of-the-art computer
equipment. Part of the reason we bought
it where we did is that my husband wanted to get the Geek Squad to come to our
home because of some other issues, and buying there gave us a discount.
I started
writing this post before the Geek Squad was scheduled to come and edited it
accordingly. But I wanted to start out
by saying that as I typed the heading for this blog, it came out Eek Squad! As it turned out, my concerns were
unwarranted.
Some of the
things we needed was for a techie to install a new router and a new printer. Our virus protection needed to be updated on
some of our computers. Plus, we have a
security camera in the kitchen that we use to spy on the dogs when we're out,
and it's been on the fritz lately.
Our younger
son is a whiz and could do a lot of this, but we decided not to bother him this
time, especially since there were things that could be time-consuming.
So--what's
my opinion now that we've had the work done?
Very
worthwhile! Our visiting Geek was very
good at what he did and also very nice and patient even with very untechie
me. Plus, under the way we hired the
Geek Squad, he'll be available for questions.
Would I
recommend it to others? Sure, especially
if you get someone as good as we did.
However...
it did mess me up as far as getting into Killer Hobbies to post this--although
that might have been the new virus protection program. Fortunately, I figured it out.
How about
you--do you do your techie stuff yourself?
If not, who helps you?

I'm glad it worked out for you, Linda. I know some other people who have used the Geek Squad and been happy with them.
I definitely liked them, as you can tell!
My daughter is a computer science major so I am extremely blessed that she helps me with my stuff. To her its basic...but to me its something that make me pull my hair out. :)

You're very fortunate, Raquel!
My hubby does all of my techie stuff. But if it weren't for him, I'd be hosed!
