Better Than Massage Therapy

Plugging in...

This the Tutor was told by a long-time client just yesterday, May 30, 2007. The Tutor spent two hours working on fixing a Treo phone to sync properly with Outlook using Microsoft's Active Sync software, followed by using Outlook categories to create a specialized folder for merging with Word to print mailing labels for an annual newsletter, diagnosed why the internet-based Mozy backup couldn’t connect and perform the backup, changed Mozy’s settings to a daily backup schedule, changed the resolution on the digital camera to produce web-friendly sized photos and demonstrated how to reduce the file size of a digital picture already stored on the computer. Whew.

As the Tutor gathered the tools (really just the brain), the client let out a deep breath and stated “now that was better than a massage, I feel so much better now”. The Tutor laughed, flattered. Mind, body, computer. Who knew?

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, is it turned on?

Unplugged
