So you're arriving at the conclusion that your computer is getting a little tired ("dad, can we pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaase get a faster computer so I can play Nuke Stomperman?"). You aren't sure whether to buy a new machine or upgrade the one you have. Lots of your friends talk about upgrading, but you haven't quite got the courage to go sticking your hands in the thing's innards. And if you buy new, do you buy a Windows PC or a Macintosh? Which PC? Which Macintosh?

Perhaps you want to cruise the Information Superhighway but you feel like the best your computer can handle is a meandering little backroad. Or you're jacking into the net from one of the big prepackaged online services and you've heard about the advantages of Internet Service Providers (ISP's). You'd like to check it out, but you're not sure where to turn.

Or perhaps you've already bought that new machine for yourself...er, the kids, and you'd like the ability to connect it to your current one. Can you? How much will it cost?

Fortunately, help is at hand.

For a nominal donation to the church Information Systems committee, you can have the services of the same chiphead who designed and built the church network, the church website, and in fact the very page you're reading - for a heck of a lot less than consultant fees. Call or email Scott Kelly and rent your very own nerd.
