Default I need a computer geek that want's to make $500 today.

I lost access to my regular computer genius(weasel) when he got some $250k a year job and moved to europe. He always provided me with great advice, latest programs, and instant tech support. Maybe he was too much of a crutch for me since I'm kind of a computer rookie and haven't learned much.

My computer died last week, but will still run in safe mode. My wife's computer is as old as mine was. My son is in 5th grade and is about due for his own computer.

I need 3 computers for my house, and a new router. I need someone to find me the best deal and give me advice on what to get, including programs. I need everything set up, programs installed, running and working with items from old computers transferred to the new ones.

My budget is $4,000 or so. I don't want any opinions on how cheap I can get some used stuff or anything like that. I just want someone who knows what they're doing to come and kick some ass and get my house set up with 3 running computers that meet my needs.

If you have some time and want this job give me a call.

If you are reading this and want to post advice, please save it. I don't want advice on a forum, I want a job done.

Thanks,

Mel

EDIT: A few people called and I'll be going with one of them. Thanks.

Of course I'm always in the mood to BS about cars, or bikes. They're a lot more fun than computers anyway.

I forwarded the link to one of out IT guys at work who can do this kind of thing with his eyes closed. He helped me get set up at the house. And he's a car guy - although he drives a WRX.

Good luck,

Sid

If you wanna do this in XP or Linux, I can help you out if you're a bit flexible on the schedule (not today). Haven't spent any time on Vista.
