gas isn't cheap also these days... froom my experience people who can be walked easily on the phone can also follow directions just as easily from a web site.
That's why I said we need a list of volunteers by location, so that the distance one would travel is minimal. As for the responsibility - this is volunteer help and in no way does it mean you'll be forced to help a particular guy for the rest of your life
. And type of help I had in mind is as follows: I've helped about 5 guys in last month by simply recommending TSI to them.
The last guy has no knowledge of networking so what I did is the following:
1. bought him a cable modem,
2. Called savvys to give them all the technical details of the new customer,
3 gave them this guy's cell number so that they could call him and get his credit card #,
4. on Friday I will go to his place and hook up the modem/router to his home computer.
Time spent so far - close to an hour. Oh, and the guys is still using dial-up and he was thingking of getting DSL for the last 4 months but didn't know where to start since his only call to Bell resulted in them trying to force him in a 2-year contract.
Am I really loosing my shirt on this?
not bad at all =p
