| 595910 | 2007-09-28 04:51:00 | Not bad actually. Wednesday was dead. Takings were almost what I need to keep the thing running. Earnings $0. But hey, not bad for week 1..............especially as expenses have jumped from nothing to lots. Quite a lot of people taking cards and asking advice and stuff as well. One guy wanted to know what book I use. Book? Like the other guy round the corner - he looks it up in a book - what to do to fix a problem. The mind boggles - Computer Repair for Dummies perhaps?:lol: |

| 595911 | 2007-09-28 04:58:00 | What's the most common repair you have to do - if there is a common one? Would it be viable to charge for advice? Do you have a call out fee? |

| 595915 | 2007-09-28 09:00:00 | Probaly like business I am in. All quiet one day and the next cant cope and turning work away. Pity people didnt break down evenly through the day instead of all at once. I think retail is a bit quiet at moment, there may be reccession around the corner and people are tightening their belts. tedheath |
