Got computer trouble? Call in the GEEK SQUAD!!
A story I wrote for Geeks Are Sexy. To test the service, the reporter invited one of the geek agents around to the house to get some computer things done. The tasks were installing Skype, creating a home wireless network, making the router secure and transferring the iTunes library from an old laptop. The bill? $260!

I am not kidding, she was undercharged. I would have added on at least an external hdd, and a battery backup.
data backup on site in US: 199
Wireless networking in US: 159
Add on software install in US: 29
The GeekSquad overcharges because it can. people will pay it, because people need it, and the alternative is usually some kid your neighbor knows.
I love this job. I get to fix computers, meet new people, and I even get paid well for it.
