-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Group,
I spoke with a gentleman on Saturday on the phone while I was at the InstallFest and he was making an enquiry about whether Calgary had any companies that dealt with Linux support. I asked him to send me more details on what he was after and I have included it below. If anyone can help him please email me off-list and I will send him your contact information (if that's okay with you). It may not be a Linux support issue at all but rather a hardware problem. - ------included message------ Hello; Just talked to you on the phone about on site Linux support in Calgary. This would be for my mom. I can manage her computer from Vancouver for most things, but hardware related problems are another matter. Currently she's having a problem with her printer not printing. It's possible the thing is just dead. On the software side, everything looks fine (Mandrake using cups), and she's checked cable connections so it doesn't sound like one of those 'doh!' type problems, though... Very bright lady, but possessing the sort of computerphobia sometimes that causes iq to diminish by about 50%. Some might suggest she should be using windows, but it really doesn't matter what she uses, it wouldn't change the underlying attitude. For how she uses her computer she might as well be using something stable and secure. I suppose she could just pick up a cheap printer for testing purposes to rule out dead hardware, but even for future reference it would be great if there was a company with Linux expertise that made house calls. Or alternatively a regular linux geek who wanted to pick up $50 or whatever seemed reasonable for a house call might do as well. The advantage of a company would be continuity, but for a specific problem it doesn't really matter as long as it gets fixed. If you can put me on to any leads that would be great. Thanks. - -Eric - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQY6HwgCQFPa+bt49AQKAswP+NaMAqqlKpp8rIo3//rL1pab/D6Iuk8Fo kKnbvfpdvQGeiv3aHbOYbJ2St0l6BrpCco9XlnU+z/4GCqV8JNU6xcfoNG/JeP66 Suzk6zNkkM0KT1hedItm9l0BysZqwLjr5cZjSjlORDlKlQ5H1wzW8d1NVKmCBHkr WeJWirQudI8= =cc6a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
