Well spoken but under priced, we charge 65 :) hehe and if we really have a lot of indepth work its 115 but that's like doing internal networking or installing some major hardware or software.
Chris :)

1: Anyone with more than 1 computer really, really needs a router. We make
it a rule on our network (I don't want their home traffic on my wireless
network!) Best Buy can sell you an elCheapo (DLink) for $39 (after
rebates). Linksys and Netgear are usually $49 (after rebate). They're not
like Eje's with a serial fail-over.
2: About 5% of my customers have Macs. Ranging in OS from 7 to X. I've
noticed weird things about most of them and don't know how to debug. Most
of them don't have any problem picking up an IP from their router, but one
lady has 4 MACs (X,9,?,?) and only 1 of them will pick up an IP from her
DLink 604 router (btw... it generates a _javascript_ error on her browserS
when you try to configure it. My laptop has no problem getting an IP from
the router, and has no problem configuring it. My Win2K server can
configure her router too. Go figger!) But they're all up and running, so
I'm not worried about it!
None of them freeze their airBridge (but only 1 of them is connected
directly to her airBridge. All the rest are connected into a router).
You need to charge for problems that aren't yours. You'll spend a lifetime
chasing down other people's problems for free. We charge a minimum of
$40/hr to fix their stuff.
