Start Your Own Computer Business- Building a Successful PC Repair and Service Business by Supporting

5 stars (Start Your Own Computer Business, but read this book 1st) - Not written like a get rich quick infomercial, but more like a reality check. What I have learned from experience in the computer business. I could have obtained easily by reading this book first. 4 stars (MORE DETAIL ON BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS) - Good book for starting a business. Should give more detail and elaborate on business aspects of small business... 5 stars (Another weapon in the computer entrepreneur's arsenal) - This book is mainly geared towards PC repair/networking people looking to start a business without the use of the contract brokers so prevalent in software/database/programming business. As such, it presents a view that is very complimentary to that exposed by Ruhl and Myers in their books. Instead of approaching brokers for contracts, it advocates "guerrilla marketing" techniques: mass mailings, postings at laundromats and supermarkets, cold calling, etc. as a way of obtaining clients. As other reviewers have mentioned, Rosenthal does not sugarcoat the potential pitfalls of this business. He also provides what is likely the best resource associated with the book, the Yahoo! Group "Computer Business" (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/computerbusiness/). Overall, a great resource. ...

Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts- Troubleshooting PC Hardware Problems from Boot Failure t

5 stars (Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts) - This book has been invaluable to my computer repair shop. It gets all of my technician's trouble shooting using the same step by step logical method. No jumping to conclusions or assuming. A great quality control and computer repair tool. 3 stars (Not complete, but still handy) - This book is very short, and it often states the obvious. It is far from complete, but it's still a handy thing to have around and much more portable than a big O'reilly's book. The good thing about it is that it's so damn easy to read. You can follow the flow chart to go straight to the advice you're looking for. I just wish it was longer and offered more solutions than it does. 5 stars (Great computer repair!) - Handy flowcharts with accompaning detailed descriptions. Very logically organized and layed out. It provides you with a structured process for tracking down pc problems. Highly recommended. Having a little troubleshooting experience would be helpful, but not absolutely necessary. A fair number of pc problems have very simple solutions. The author does not overlook the obvious(is it plugged in? are all the mute buttons unchecked?) on way to making a proper diagnosis. If you are at all serious about providing your own tech support (or support to friends and family), get this book. Money well spent. ...
