Petronius -> RE: PCs discretely cleaned! (11/10/2010 4:43:15 AM)

I actually misread your title as "PVCs discretely cleaned!" and thought that they weren't that difficult to wipe off. But since I don't play with them I was willing to see what the professional cleaner had to say about it.
As a computer pro myself I can see why you'd offer the service. I had what I call a "Homer Simpson Moment" where I slap my forehead and go "Doh!" because I could suddenly see why some people in the community could use your service.
Let me make a suggestion.
Why not write an essay on "preventive browsing and email" that could provide the less technical people in the community how they can improve their security with a few small not-very technical steps. Perhaps tell them that erasing things doesn't make them disappear and then recommend some free DOD mil-spec program to really zap them. Or tell them how they can use the "search" utility to sweep their disks looking for certain types of files. Or how they can label all their scene files to make them easy to locate and destroy should the need arise.
I'm sure that such an essay, written by a computer pro like yourself who is also part of the community, would be widely republished on the net since it would contain lots of useful information. Now of course there's no reason why you have to do everything free but I also think you'd find that the paper became useful advertising for your business. A lot more people would read of your service, and, seeing the advice you gave already, would have a higher appreciation of your professionalism. In short, they'd be more likely to use your service for higher security than they could provide themselves, even with your free advice. Then, as your advice spread throughout the community you could also expect to get word-of-mouth business as people mentioned you to friends who had need for your services.
