LOL, yea, we'll ask them to step outside to howl at the moon.

That might be true, but the "fixing computers by swearing at them" stall is
going to be a bit empty!

I think being in a church is a great place for tech support.  Now, when you
pray while you're pushing the Start button, it probably will!

Have fun!

LOL.  I am ready for that (I guess).  I am going to have a router and can
put it on the network.  I will really just say a prayer at the opening
(remember this is a church group) that WHS doesn't have any problems that
needs my attention.  ;-)

What I am trying to do is give out church members a place where THEY can
learn how to do stuff on their own computers, using what I know.  I am
accumulating a bunch of the "gotta have" programs, everything from malware
checkers to Avs, firewalls and even things like Hamachi and VNC.  I will
then show them whatever they need to know, including how to add memory (or
test it with Memtest086 disks I have made) - stuff like that.

We shall see, and I hope I am not overwhelmed the first night.  There are a
LOT of people who have no clue how to do stuff and I don't want to work on
each person's computer at their house.  Maybe I can start a little "self
help" group there.

But John - what if someone brings in a Microsoft Home Server?  Are you ready
for that?

A few weeks ago someone recommended a really sweet program that displayed
pretty much everything system related that you would ever want to know in a
little windows utility.  Of course I cannot find the email anywhere, nor the
program (though I did download it and look at it).  I am getting prepared to
do a free "computer repair" workshop at my Church Friday night and need this
thing!

Does anyone remember what it was?
