Holiday Tech Support

April 11th, 2009

I don’t see my family as often since I’ve moved to San Francisco. This weekend I’m home for the Easter holiday. Its nice to see everyone. Additionally, I have a backlog of tech support for my parents and grandparents. I’ve installed software purchased months ago, done updates that they weren’t even are of, installed a router and fixed rats nests of cables. I’ve restored TV setups to working order and am about to fix a vacuum cleaner. Are you the tech support guy for your family? What are you fixing this weekend?
