Unique New Guide Tells How to Capitalize on the Lucrative Field of PC
Repair and Maintenance

Bundled disk contains a collection of indispensable diagnostic tools

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--There are an estimated 100 million computers in use
today, and that number is expected to soar to 800 million by the end of
the decade. As more PCs are sold from retail outlets rather than
service-conscious manufacturers, the demand for repair and maintenance
technicians is already booming. Start Your Own Computer Repair Business is
the first complete reference on setting up a home-based PC repair
enterprise, covering everything from computer parts and tools to pricing
and advertising.

Authors Linda Rohrbough and Michael Hordeski bring this nuts-and-bolts
guide to life with fascinating profiles of entrepreneurs, some of whom
built garage businesses into million-dollar enterprises. The authors share
invaluable insights and information on subjects such as:

* Launching the business, including how to set competitive prices,
  advertise on a shoestring, make contacts, and get referrals
* What tools to buy and tricks for using them
* How to maximize profits by choosing a speciality such as data
  recovery or network services
* Boosting income by offering auxiliary services such as hardware
  and software upgrades and system tuning

There also are appendices listing helpful resources.
