Default Hello Everyone!

Hi to all. I'm Howard, and very new to computer repair. I live in upstate New York, am 48 years old, and in one day will be 49. I have been waiting tables for 20 years and am looking to begin anew, not because I want to, but because I have to. You know, my body is beginning to fail me. I have a beautiful 7 year old daughter whom I wish to provide a better life for. I am a single dad.

Please note that I have next to no experience repairing and maintaining pc's; however, I know I can do this. I am also very aware that I will need lots of help, and have never been one to not ask for help when I've needed it. My goal is to start a business repairing and maintaining pc's for home users.

I have purchased both the Laptop and PC repair course and am about 20% through it. It's fascinating to say the least. The course, coupled with the volumes of information on you-tube, the web, and here on this forum should provide me with what I need to accomplish my goal.

So that's my intro. So much to learn, so let's get going.

Ty,

Sophiasdad
