I have just discovered the most amazing thing! I am pretty good with computers, I can navigate my way around, fix most problems with a little ‘net research, and know how to keep it clean and bug free. But for the past 8 or so months, I have had this obnoxious problem with my sound and video skipping all the time. The baby videos just aren’t the same when they are skipping and sound under water. I tried everything, and have been on the lookout for fixes ever since. Well ladies, I have found the best thing since the invention of the day spa – Free Tech Support! I stumbled upon this site called TechGuy.org and it changed my laptop forever. It is a forum, filled with really smart tech-y guys (and gals) who are just itching to answer your burning tech questions. A lot of these people are actually paid to provide tech support for their day jobs, but hang out on this board helping the public out of the goodness of their hearts (or boredom maybe?). I posted two different problems that have been plaguing my new laptop for months, and within a couple of hours I had both answered and problem solved!! Seriously, they are not paying me to say this, I just had such a great experience, I thought I should share with the other frazzled moms out there. This forum saved me about $150 worth of tech support that I was about to shell out for one of those mobile support companies that comes to your home to fix your PC. So next time your PC is giving you a headache worse than the kids are, give it a try, you must just save yourself a chunk of time – and money!
