'Computer chaos
In the office, you can simply call IT for help. But what do you do when your personal computer at home breaks down?
So far your solution might have been to turn to impenetrable instructions or a pricey helpline, or simply to shout a stream of expletives. But there are now more constructive alternatives.
Scooter Computer (scootercomputer.co.uk) charges £69 for the first hour, and the same per hour after that; there's no callout charge. Technicians are on call, on motorbikes, seven days a week and cover central and south-west London.
The service, set up just over a year ago, is aimed at "improving users' IT experience without the stress".
"We get calls on broadband connections, computers that won't start and emails not sending," says manager Dan Haysom.
Scooter also provides data backups, disaster recovery, the transfer of CD music to iPods, virus protection, and even computer lessons at £55 an hour.
Other services include Geeks on Wheels (geeks-on-wheels.com).',
