Help my parents.

September 27, 2006 6:44 AM

Looking for a computer / networking person in the San Fernando Valley to help my parents out from time to time.

My parents live in the West Valley and have occasional computer (Mac OS X, mostly)problems. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy person who they can pay to come over from time to time to fix things and help them when they need something explained?

Followup question: They need to hire someone to pull ethernet upstairs. Does anyone know a cabling guy/gal who will take a small job in a big house? (No, 802.11, HPNA, and HomePlug won't work, so don't bother suggesting them. We really only want copper.)

Thanks.

Perhaps this post would get more appropriate responses in the Jobs section?

chrisamiller: perhaps, but I don't just want applicants. I want people's opinions of people they've hired. For example, when people post about such-and-such restaurant, they don't post a job for a cook to make them X-type food.

Ah - I understand now. Fair enough.

But "Pets and Animals?" Aren't you being a little harsh on your parents? ;-)
