From the Publisher

No small business manager, internal guru or trusted advisor should contract for computer consulting until after reading this book! Don’t let another week pass in which your consultant is building a hefty invoice and withholding key training to build up "job" security at your expense. What are you waiting for? Take control of your technology now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover big and small savings with this gem, November 22, 2002
This review is from: What Your Computer Consultant Doesn't Want You to Know: 101 Money-Saving Secrets of Expensive Techies (Paperback)
Don't let the help desk have all the power or keep you waiting... waiting... You and your small business can get a bit of help with this book and leave the far too complex problems for the technicians. Not to worry, this is not a technical book nor does it use jargon.

You probably don't have much time to read books as a small business owner or a manager of a small tech shop. I'm in the same boat and I got through the book faster than I get through most non-fiction books because of its excellent and scannable layout. There are 101 tips in the book and the back of the book has them all listed for quick referencing or you can go to the section of preference: hardware, software, and data protection.

Each of the 101 tips headlines the page followed by two things: Save on Soft Costs and Save on Out-of-Pocket Expenses. A checkmark by these items indicates the kind of savings to expect from following the tip. The tip has headers and short paragraphs to enable quick scanning.

Already comfortable with computers? So am I -- I still learned quite a few things. Subscribe to Feinberg's free newsletter if you want to get a feel for what the book is like.
