Lauver Systems Mobile Computer Services & Training - Computing Made Easy!

I meet tech savvy people of all ages and scopes. Some build exotic web sites with automagical design software (while I hand code in DHTML), or have the latest hardware, networks, gadgets, and office suites. Others excel at speaking, writing, social networks, search engine optimization, and more (while I am relatively unknown).

It's a matter of focus. In the modern world, being a master of all trades is next to impossible; so we specialize, turning ever smaller aspects of life into entire disciplines. When events and practicalities intrude upon the small world under the lens, we look for shortcuts to conserve time and energy. You may not remember, but the computer is one of them. Sometimes shortcuts don't work as intended.

I want to buy something at a store, and the clerk is fuming at an unruly cash register. A skilled and successful web designer wants to create a simple effect which can't be dragged and dropped into place. A $600 office suite won't start. A blazing fast computer is staggering like a drunk in a bot net. A dynamic professional has a confidence crisis.

That's where I come in. I'm just a nuts and bolts guy, like many of you, with a knack for finding simple solutions to expensive problems - like saving a dental lab thousands of dollars per month with a small piece of aluminum foil, or using an interpretive language to code mainframe applications which senior analysts deemed impossible in any language.

I confess to self interest. This lens page is about my business and web site; yet they are about helping you specifically, and indirectly helping others and the environment. Getting your computer running efficiently and safely benefits both of us immediately - you're happy and I get paid. I don't get paid when you use what I teach you to keep it in top shape.

It's rewarding to know your equipment will last longer and contribute less to landfills (even if you "recycled" it); to know that your technological marvel isn't a drone in a bot net, spewing spam, mongering malware, and overwhelming networks; and to know that one more person was inspired. Though I've been critically labled an altruist, I think most of us are, in some way.

You can probably tell this is my first Squidoo lens - I will update and enhance it as time permits. Trying to get work is a job in itself.

Enjoy
