Today’s small-business lesson: First pay the CRA… Home and small-business tech consulting company owner Lucas Roberts offered 80 free, personal, half-hour consultations just before Christmas. “I’ll pop in for 30 minutes (daytime, evening, or weekend) to check your Mac health and backup,” his email offer read. “No charge and no strings attached.” He promised the visit would “make you smile and will free up an hour of your time every week.

Free 30-min visits with Lucas available daytime, evening, or weekend. RSVP before Friday 5pm to book your visit before December 21st.

If you’re a Mac owner and you live in the Vancouver area, take note. I’ve been using Macinhome as my tech consultants for years now – the best part is they make house calls! Whenever I’ve had something go wrong with my Mac that I can’t fix, I give them a call. It used to be such a drag hauling my desktop to the shop on transit. And I would have to leave it there. Now it’s a quick diagnosis, and usually a quick fix.
