PC Support - recommendations please

Shuggie said:

Hi,

Apologies for starting yet another computer help thread. I scanned about 20 others but couldn't find any recommendations.

Essentially, I can't cope:
... laptops, iPads, iPhones, iPods, iTunes, printers, cloud drives, shares, back ups, Kindles, readers, smartphones, intelligent cameras and a Blackberry or 2
... cables, earplugs, headphones, adapters, connectors, chargers, boosters
... wireless, bluetooth, air, near field communications

What have I tried?
... useless helplines charging premium rates to explain how it's all my fault
... smug little things at Apple who ooze pity when confronted by someone with grey hair
... corporate IT nutjobs who only want me to appreciate how clever and yet misunderstood they are
... call centres following constipated processess in far flung corners of the world
... a billion unintelligible websites who never seem to have heard of MY problem

Please please can someone recommend a human being / small business in Mid-Sussex who can help?

If not, I'll be going down the garden shed with a bottle of scotch and a revolver

afraid im pretty close to being an IT nutjob who's clever yet misunderstood (especially by boss), but i'll have a stab if theres a specfic issue. or are you looking for general ongoing support? it is something thats poor in the IT industry unless you pay £££.

Perhaps give some specifics, most of these things are relatively easy when you get your head round them

Dunno if this helps but have you tried either Completely PC in Burgess Hill? tel: 0871 9181821 Or Herian Support also in Burgess Hill tel: 01444 848261

I haven't used either but Completely PC helped a friend out and they've been around for several years.

It's ongoing support - willing to pay, no issue with that. Everytime wifey turns up with a new bit of kit then I'm reluctantly catapaulted into the Geek role. Just don't want the hassle anymore - I just want to know that there's someone I can turn to (aw, bless!).

Feeling as useless as I did about 4:15 on 26/10/2002 when my youngest turned to me and said "Daddy, make it stop!".

Blimey that's unusual ... Nigel misses the point. I'm looking for a recommnedation, not another conversation about stuff I despise (something that applies equally to PC Support and CP Support).
