There is a new peer to peer computer help service for older adults are technologically challenged. Florence Henderson-Carol Brady of "The Brady Bunch" - has started a telephone-based tech support system to aid senior citizens, or any computer newbie, to learn basic computer and internet skills.
In her own words, Florence Henderson describes The FloH Club as "a telephone based technical support service for people, like me, who didn't grow up with computers. It's like a roadside assistance for your computer."
For a limited time you can "test drive" The FloH Club for 99 cents for the first month. After that the service will cost $24.99 a month, or $249.99 a year.
According to the website, The FloH Club, the service can help you do any and all of the following:
♦ Communicate with friends and loved ones using e-mail, instant messaging,
♦ Set up a device that connects to your computer, such as a printer, scanner, or digital camera
♦ Clean up and tune up your system so it is virus-free and performing at its best
♦ Back up your files so you don't lose important data
♦ Make purchases safely on the Internet
♦ Check financial news online
Just remember, whenever you access the internet and increase your on-line exposure, you may also increase your computer's exposure to viruses and spyware. If your computer slows down or starts acting erractically, bring it to CitiWide Computers & Technology for expert clean-up and virus removal.

Have you ever received an email from Vistaprint and wondered whether those 250 business cards are really free? CitiWide Computers & Technology has used Vistaprint to purchase business cards, postcards and a sample tee shirt, and YES, for a very low shipping cost, the products advertised are free. In most cases, we chose to upgrade the paper, add our own logo or artwork and add b/w printing to the backside of our business cards and postcards, which does cost extra, but the final price is still a bargain. Price aside, I worked as a print production manager for over 20 years, so I am a tough customer, but so far Vistaprint has exceeded my expectations for price, quality and speed of delivery, even when a slow shipment method was selected. An example of some of our recent orders include 250 Premier Business cards on Glossy Card Stock full color on front and b& w on back, using our own uploaded design, delivered in one week.....$30.64. 100 Postcards, Glossy Finish, full color on front and b/w on back, using our own uploaded design, delivered in less than 5 days....$12.93. 250 Postcards, Glossy Finish, full color on front and b/w on back, using a customized Vistaprint design, delivered in less than a week....$52.11.
As our business grows, so will our orders from Vistaprint. They make it very easy to design and order professional looking products on their website, but if you need face to face help creating a design project for your business or home, Donna Bollenbach, co-owner of CitiwideComputers & Technology, with 20 years of graphic arts experience, is now offering low cost consultant or design services tailored to meet your needs: I will teach you how to do it yourself, or do it for you.
