Customer comments on this selection.
 Excellent Sourcebook On Starting A PC Repair Business!!!
This valuable sourcebook, 'Start Your Own Computer Business' is essential for people who want to have their own computer store or computer repair shop, in such areas as: ordering parts and supplies, pricing, taking care of your customers, inventory, profits, losses, and expenses. I recommend this great book for those who want to get started in this field, or for those who want to improve in their present PC business.
 This is a lousy excuse for a book!
First of all this book is NOT geared toward the computer repair business as the Title on Amazon leads you to believe.
Secondly, the author is VERY NEGATIVE. He seems to be trying to discourage as many people as possible from starting a computer business. Every page is another story how things can (and probably will) go wrong. I can understand warning people not to get too optimistic, but this guy goes over the line!
Buy this book only if you want to get depressed and lose your excitement about starting a new business.
 Should be half as long or even less
This book has 160 pages; 6 are blank, 8 have stupid cartoons on them, 19 are about building custom PCs (which virtually no-one does any more), 41 are about subjects on which Mr Rosenthal is no expert and about 6-10 are full of advice that is so trivial that you don't need to be told it. So less than half of the book has potentially useful information.
There is useful information in there, but all in all there is only enough material for a series of magazine articles - not an entire book.
Excellent Starting point
Simply practical... Morris writes out your options, and where to go...Loved it!! He uses some humor in his writing to making it an easy read. Recommended for anyone who is thinking about going into business or already in business!

Start Your Own Computer Business: Building a Successful PC Repair and Service Business by Supporting Customers and Managing Money
When I ordered this book I was not sure what to expect, I am 50 and after 25 years in the Corporate Computer business and being fed up with kowtowing to others I decided that I wanted to be on my own so I did not die and old man with regrets.
So I bought this book, after all the advertising on Morris's site was enticing.
What I found when I read this book was a totally "no holds barred" honest and thorough book on all aspects of running a PC Home based business and amazingly "straight in your face".
Sure it did flag up a lot of points that I had completely not even considered, it laid down every detail of almost every aspect of creating and running a business, it created a complete rethink of my dream. It is certainly not for the feint hearted, as it is a "real" book in every sense explaining in easy to comprehend language all the considerations one has to make in running a business.
The end result is that I feel completely enlightened and educated for starting my new venture, I feel armed with enough knowledge to not make the initial startup errors that fail so many small businesses in this area.
I would recommend without any hesitation to everyone considering this vocation that they should get and read this book first and foremost.
Based upon this book, I have also started ordering his collection of works, and the second book ordered has been equally as good. Easy to comprehend English (no geek speak), logical, well thought out.
The gentleman is indeed wise and very very readable...
Thanks for writing this book Morris
