Great start, I completely agree with all of your suggestions.
Some other points:
- document all the work that you do (off-site and on-site) this helps solve any "billing enquiries" and is very professional. it also may lead you to starting your own knowledge base of quick fixes, etc.
- have a bootable CD such as knoppix for internet access and hardware testing/recovery
- have CDs with the latest virus removal tools and OS updates.
There are many more, but a lot of it depends on type of customer and previous experience. You'll soon learn what you need.
I listen to triple J too, and have been searching for a free program for XP that I can use for exactly the same thing you have described. Would you be interested in letting me download some shows?
Hey, our web server running e-smith [e-smith.org] (a modified version of redhat) has just been hacked. See http://www.hybridvision.net does anyone here know of these people, or any previous exploits?
i've been using tightVNC at work for a few months now and find it extremely useful. i've also been running it on XP boxes, so that the helpdesk jockeys can access an XP box from their workstation (which is running win2K) in order to duplicate/solve a clients problem.
cheers
i know quite a few parents, grand-parents and even.. wait for it.. 20 year olds who are scared shit-less of computers and have trouble enough using windows.
although i agree with your statement (sort of), linux advertising is not aimed at the desktop user, and most people are scared of it because it is not the norm, and is not the business application standard that windows is today. it may change in the future but microsoft has a stranglehold on the market.
you can argue why: best GUI; being in the right place at the right time, whatever. they certainly have created job security if nothing else.

i'm not saying that this invasion of privacy is a good thing, it's definitely not, but if this does eventuate, what becomes of the small businesses who can't afford to pay for the info and whose only advantage over large corporations is that they know their clients (and/or potential clients) and their history through past dealings with them. Once larger corporations have access to the kind of information we're talking about, could not legal action be taken against the providers of the info? it seems like a greater monopolysing of the advertising industry.

I have not met a mac enthusiast that would go to the lengths you have.
