No, you won&#8217;t find that blog here on Wambooli. Instead, you&#8217;ll have to visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pclive.com\" target=\"else\">PC Live<\/a> web site and go to their new blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pclive.com\/blog\/\" target=\"elseblog\">For PC&#8217;s Sake<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIn case you didn&#8217;t know, PC Live is a company that provides the kind of service the computer industry once offered. PC Live fills a gap in an era where big companies don&#8217;t really want to deal with customers, provide you with service, or offer tech support. Basically, they&#8217;re there to help.<\/p>\n<p>It works like this: You can phone up PC Live toll-free (888-725-4836), 24-hours a day. For a flat fee they&#8217;ll fix your computer. That includes everything from tune-ups to removing viruses and Trojans, to all kinds of issues, installation, Windows Vista, protecting yourself on the Internet, dealing with slow computers, and on and on.<\/p>\n<p>If need be, the PC Live technicians will connect to your PC over the Internet to diagnose things. When they can&#8217;t fix it, you don&#8217;t pay. And they won&#8217;t dismiss you after 12 minutes, or direct you to re-install Windows, if the problem cannot be fixed. In fact, if the problem cannot be fixed, you don&#8217;t pay them.<\/p>\n<p>The fee is just under $60, which is a heck of a lot cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) than having someone in an ugly car come out and visit your home or office.<\/p>\n<p>I admire what the PC Live people are doing and believe them to be honest in their desire to help people use their computer. These folks aren&#8217;t in business just to make a quick buck. That&#8217;s why I support them, and that why you can read my troubleshooting blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pclive.com\/blog\" target=\"elseblog\">For PC&#8217;s Sake<\/a>, five times a week over the next few months (perhaps longer).
