Exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to be working on folks business - I have already been there and done that and now since I'm a 'vendor' it's even more 'responsibility'.
I'm more interested in supporting folks in their home environment. I know home PCs can be just as important to folks as their businesses but I'd be upfront. I'm not really an emergency service - I work on my schedule. I have a full time job - it isn't going anywhere. This would be strictly side work and I'd expect to turn down stuff if I got busy.
