My wife and I decided we could do with another partime employee (We already employ a old friend who has a great computer knowledge) so we advertised locally and had four answers in 36 hours ... one was a lady and I was curious to know what she may know so I asked her in for a chat / interview. I have not heard of that many lady's in to computer mechanics but I was very pleasantly surprised by this young lady's tech knowledge (she builds and upgrades her own and family's systems) so as of tomorrow I'm happy to say she is on the team

Thanks Nibiru, well its a equal split two guys two girls now but as my wife runs the office side of things I think its safest for me to say she is the admin of the business ... I like a quiet life

Veedaz, good to see things picking up for you. I'm glad to see you give a lady a chance, some are just as good as men doing this kind of work. And usually, they'll be better employees than some men are. I wish her the best of luck, and hope your business grows to where you need 20+ employees, one of them being the one responsible to keep up with everything that's going on.

That's awsome news Veedaz, I always love to run into fellow gals who are computer savvy and it's a shame they are so few and far between. 8)

I am a firm believer in using independents. I would never buy a commercially produced computer. Too much rubbish like trials for this and that, rubbish AV programs like Norton, dedicated hardware, and worst of all, usually no installation disc supplied. I have over the years had three computers built by a local man, all to suit my own requirements, and with only the operating system installed. A full installation disc supplied each time, delivered within two or three days of ordering , set up and running.

Good luck to you.

When we build a system or install an OS the disk / disks are given to the customer and apart from new hardware guarantee I also give a 12 month guarantee on a new build and 12 months on any upgrade work in writing within the customers job report.

I pleased to say my new lady tech was here early and is ATM installing Windows 7 Ult 64-bit on a AMD Desktop and will be installing a extra HDD to the same machine

Good news Veedaz. The best person for the job no matter what the sex is a great policy and I'm happy to see you're proud of it.
