Q. he wants to fix software issues and be able to trouble shoot and fix hardware problems.. also what kind of jobs could he get doing this?
A. If he got his associates degree in computer science or IT, and did the appropriate certifications while he studied (such as A+ certification), he could find work on a computer help desk, which sounds exactly like what he's looking for. He could do this degree and the certifications at a community college - high quality, low price.
While he studies, he must do an internship, get a part-time job, or do volunteer work in his field. This will allow him to build a resume while he studies, which will set him up well to get a job when he graduates.

What is a good laptop for an accounting major?
Q. I'm heading to college very soon, and need to get a laptop before heading out. I wonder, what kind of a laptop would you recommend for a student that will be majoring in accounting? I imagine that accounting software that I might use won't require a high end laptop but I don't know for sure. I'd like to spend less than $500.
And if it helps I'm going to the University of Oregon.

A. You do not need a high-end laptop and since they get stolen frequently you are WISE to stick to yoiur price range.
But things in general are more hippety than years past so a processor in 2.4 GHz range or better and 1.0 Gb RAM or better will enable all stuff in general without much problem. You can find laptops like that in your price range, not too difficult, but DOES require effort to look around.
Big companies turn over their professionals laptops and so you may want to contact those in your area like utility firms, phone company as well as Tiger Direct and CompUSA and see what is up. Might save you $200 of your budget, eh?
OpenOffice is free and you can download that. Has a spreadsheet. You may want ACCESS by Microsoft and you may want to learn some Computer Science. I became ADEPT at ACCESS without ever having much formal education in college or computers. Noticed most all ACCESS teachers are lousy. There is a best way of explaining it, but apparently even most teachers do not make their own programs there much. Extremely versatile software.
You have spreadsheet in OpenOffice. Do not get low end Microsoft software. If you must have it, get the real business stuff or you will come to regret it. The low end stuff is crippled. Especially the typical stuff they bundle for Home Users.

Click on each and look for CPU speed and RAM size. I really do not know which is best, but you could find three that would do and then do a search on that Make and Model + Complaints or see which friends have. You could go to store and type on your choices and see which keyboard you like best -- I have found that to be a biggie factor with experience of person who does LOTS of computer work and writing.
Some have heat or battery problems. Check that out... Your laptop needs breathing room. On desk, not blanket. Keep area cleared around it.
New long-lasting batteries

Hint: ALWAYS charge after use. Run it low and store a while is expensive mistake.
See which has the best OTHER features. You may already have some in mind, most sharp people do.
Back up your pc to a Maxtor Drive once in a while. You will not lose ALL your stuff if the HDD croaks. You can reload ALL to new HDD if it was backed up with Acronis True Image Home.
Note: Nothing is worse than losing all your notes and work while in some school or training because HDD croaked or laptop was stolen. What if term paper of 10 weeks work was there? Keep that backup!!!

What would I need to build a good graphic design studio?
Q. I have an idea but would like to hear from you what are the elements to building a good studio for graphic design work. What software, computer and art supplies would you recommend or have at home. Thank you to all who answer.
A. my studio is a relatively small one, but it gets the job done.
I have a 15" Apple MacBook Pro. The ease of use, non-virus and the power of two NVIDEA Graphics processors all help to create quickly and efficiently. I also have Adobe CS4 Design Premium. This gives me tools I need for print, web, and interactive design.
I also use a Wacom Graphics Tablet. This is also a must. Drawing with the mouse is a lot like drawing with a bar of soap, so having a tool to draw directly on a screen is huge. I use thw Bamboo Fun tablet. It's got a smaller price and footprint than the more widely known Intous tablets, but it still has ample room to draw. I use a 4x6" tablet. I studied Printmaking in college, so I'm comfortable drawing on a small space.
I also have all sorts of books and publications. these help me get inspired, get ideas for color, layout, pretty much anything.
I use my dining room table as a drafting table as well. For real layout I have a metal meter stick, a T-Square, an X-Acto cutting board that sharpens my blade when I cut, foam board, drawing paper, etc. I also have a sketchbook and Prismacolor Woodless graphite, which I find lasts longer than wooden pencils and behaves a lot like charcoal, but more refined and controlable.
I also have canvas, acrylic paint, plaster, beeswax, and anything else I need to create whatever I need-backgrounds, mini sculptures, etc. A lot of it I have leftover from past projects and college, but some of it I'm about to use soon.
I have an HP Officejet pro printer. It gets the job done, and makes fantastic copies, but I'm about to upgrade to a capable Hp printer. The upgrade is mostly due to my new format of work, which is 11x14" size and larger.
I use two camera. One is a very good Kodak Point-and-Shoot, the other is a Nikon D60. Camera like anything else are just tools. It's all in how you use them.
On my desk I also have bamboo plants, small European acrylic toys from my fiaceé and anything else I like. I live here too, y'know?
Like artists, we all have very different work areas. Some are as pristine as museums. Some are messes from Hell. Most (like mine) are somewhere in between. But they are unique to each of us.
hope this helps.
