Ever thought of remote tech support?

If couple of years back (ok, maybe more like 14 years back) someone had mentioned me something called Remote Tech Support, I would have probably laughed and said it won't work. My mind would have imagined something like that â€" me on one end of a phone line, the tech guy on the other, telling me how to not cut one but cut the other wire or I'll blow up (yeah, I know, I watch too much tv).

These days, however, Remote Tech Support is alive and kicking. And while in small part the two wires and a potential huge bang still ain't a very bad example, things have changed. With the coming of internet, giving support remotely has been simplified a lot. And together with phone, skype, other type of web messengers, remote access options (if you haven't seen it, you can actually give someone in the other end of the world the option to cruise around your computer, just as if he was just sitting on your seat).

Whatever you might help with â€" from setting up your home wireless network to troubleshooting random software problems (as you might have experienced, taking your computer to the regular pc repair shop for software repairs might cost you a fortune), from setting your computer up for best gaming experience to getting to know your digital cameras â€" the help is just around the corner, or in this case,just a mouse click away.

One of such companies that offer Remote Tech Support services is Support Squad and with their extremely competitively priced service plans you can't go wrong. The thing is that very often we can get most of the things done all by ourselves, or with the help of our dear friends. However, I don't know how it is with you, but in my case I have seen that usually, troubleshooting your tech problems yourself costs you valuable time, time that you could rather spend a lot more efficiently working on things you consider yourself a professional in.
