I work in the tech industry and yes, I spend an incredible amount of time tapping away at a keyboard to make my keep. I guess I would say I know a fair amount about computers, but one of the things I know for sure is that there is a great deal I don’t know about computers and that’s half the battle. This is obvious when I update my home router or venture off and try to set up a network with my home computers.

That my friend, is why companies have IT departments so an entire workforce doesn’t grind to a halt every time they have to reconfigure their network settings or need some type of general computer repair or update.

The long and short of it is at a certain point of greatly diminishing returns you either do one of two things; you either give in to your ego and decide to dig your heels in, make that pot of coffee and figure why your system has gone awry or you open your wallet and call some reliable company for some tech support. I have now reached a point in my life where I opt for the latter of the two. Call me lazy, call me sleep deprived but letting a technician from FastTek (or the likes of) come in and tweak my system is well worth it.
