Viability of Computer Support Business?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/958885/posts
This guy is making it sound like his business took off like wildfire by simple osmosis - but he's in NYC so maybe social and business conditions there permit this to happen.
In a more average part of the country (US) - say in flyover country in a medium sized city - what does anyone think that it would it take to get something like this rolling - time, money, and commitment-wise? Assuming that the person had sufficient skills and professionalism to run the business, that is.
IE: I see postings on the bulletin boards in local groceries for home user tech support. These guys state that they are charging like $25/hr. I couldn't keep the lights on for that. But I don't see that business users would take someone that cheap very seriously, either.
