“Perspective: Use it or lose it.”
— From “Illusions,” by Richard Bach
As a graphic designer, I see computers as amazing instruments, capable of transforming fleeting thoughts into enduring design. As an administrator and business-owner, I have come to know them also as invaluable record keepers and managers' helpers.
But when they don't work the way you want them to, it's easy to lose perspective, isn't it? Soon enough, our computers feel less like useful tools and more like headaches or burdens.
How many times have you purchased a fancy new program to perform a task faster and more efficiently—only to lose hours or days figuring out how to make it work?
What about all that time you've lost to impersonal—and often pay-by-the-minute—telephone support from people who don't know your system or your needs?
Does being a small-business owner really mean you have to become your own system administrator, or break the bank with frequent service calls?
Let me introduce you to another perspective: You can call on the same level of computer training and support usually only available to big businesses—without breaking your budget. I have helped businesses of all sizes get their computer hassles under control—and can suggest simple maintenance routines to reduce the chance you'll have problems in the future.
As for learning new software, I can help you through that process too, from helping with software-purchase decisions to creating individualized lesson plans to help you put your new investment to use as soon as possible.
