12. A good tech will be able to get things going quickly

Dec 2014

While an amateur (like me) would have to spend extra time researching to make sure it goes correctly. Just take a look at my thread about transferring my stuff to a new hard drive! In my case, I needed to move the Windows installation, which is harder, but I wasted two days trying it by myself before I asked here. Once I had a good program recommended, it was easy and didn't take long at all.

Oh the other hand, I used to do tech support on a printer & scanner forum so I am better with them.

For most computer stuff I know just enough to get myself in a muddle.
