I am for hire: $500 an hour to unplug and replug your computer equipment (plus travel expenses).

Ain't technology grand?
Whether it's a $1000 PC or $1.5 million worth of media equipment, many times the only answer is "turn it all off, then turn it back on." I have a friend who worked as a recording engineer on a dubbing stage, and she & I used to laugh our asses off when something would go down on the stage, and there'd be editors, mixers, producers and engineers all running around like mental cases trying to get things working, then end up scratching their heads in confusion; at which point my friend would calmly go over, cut the power on everything and wait 30 seconds, then fire it all back up and voila! Back to One. Ha!!!
I've done some troubleshooting-for-hire and always loved it when I could make $100 just for driving to someone's house and fixing their problem with a simple power-down/power-up! Although I usually feel a little guilty and end up spending a little extra time to optimize their drives and clean up their systems, since I'm there anyway. Service with a smile!
