the best batteries you can buy.

I know that this doesn't have a lot to do with computers per se, but a lot of peripherals use batteries and those batteries are getting to be expensive. If, like me, you run through your share of batteries for remotes, kids toys and flashlights rechargeable is the way to go.

Recently Sanyo solved a major problem with rechargeable batteries. They found a way to prevent their batteries from discharging power while they sat unused in a drawer. This allows you to charge a set of battieries, throw them in a bucket and use them when you need them.

Sanyo's version of the low self discharge battery is called Eneloop. You can get them at Costco or online. A full set which includes a charger, eight double A's and four triple A's costs $32.00. You can get four double A's for $11.48.

Another nice feature these batteries have is that you can insert the double A batteries into a spacer that will allow them to function as D batteries. Two double A's and two spacers are $9.26.

Using these batteries has made life a lot easier for me. I bought about thirty of them and never need to go run to the store to get an extra battery. If one goes dead I throw it in the bucket marked "Needs to be charged" and if I get a new remote or if my kid gets a new toy I dip my hand into the bucket marked "charged batteries"

In addition the convenience I am saving money and not contributing poisonous chemicals to the environment in the form of hundreds of dead batteries a year.

If you have any questions about this or need any help feel free to give me a call.

The new Priority One plan from Bensman Home Computer Repair

      Bensman Home Computer Repair is now offering a new way to pay for computer repair. Instead of paying an hourly fee for a repair when you need it we now offer the option of paying less money and spreading that cost out over twelve months. We call it Priority One.

     If you sign up for Priority One service I will sell you six hours of computer repair for the price of four. You then pay for those hours over the course of twelve months. Priority One customers receive a significant discount on computer repair and at the same time are able to budget that repair cost more easily.

    That's right, just twelve easy payments of $24.95 plus tax gets you six hours of computer repair you can use any time in the next twelve months. If you don't use all of your hours in a given year you can roll an hour over to the following year up to three times. It really is the most sensible way to budget and pay for home computer repair.

     Possible uses for your hours might include hooking up a new printer, setting up a wireless home network, virus removal or any other home computer repair related task you would need. My service does not change with the Priority One plan. You would call me as you usually do, schedule an appointment as you usually do and I come take care of the issue as I usually do. The difference is that with the Priority One plan at the end of the job you Do Not Write Me A Check.

     If you sign up now you get six hours for twelve payments of $24.95 a month for twelve months plus tax. If you wait until you have a problem before you sign up I will offer a fifty percent discount on that days work if you then sign up to be a Priority One customer.

     Computer problems are difficult enough without wondering how to pay for them. With Priority One your life just got a little easier.

If anyone out there would like to sign up to become a Priority One customer or if you just have any questions about it give me a ring. Below I have included the contract for your information.

Priority One contract

Bensman Home Computer Repair

Repair Services Contract

I agree to pay twelve equal payments of 24.95 plus sales tax per month to Bensman Home Computer Repair.

In return I shall receive six hours of home computer repair.

If any of the hours are unused in any twelve month period the subscriber may roll one hour over to the next year up to a total of three hours.

If a subscriber uses more than his six hours in one repair session or uses all of his hours up before his twelve month period has expired he may pay for the remainder of the session at a discounted hourly rate of $60.00 or he may opt to pay the remainder of the outstanding twelve month period's fees and thereby immediately extend his service by six hours and twelve months.

If an unsubscribed client needs service and then wishes to subscribe to my service a fifty percent discount will be given on the initial service, provided the client then subscribes for twelve months of the service at $24.95 a month.

Service is to be calculated at a one hour minimum charge with each subsequent fifteen minute increment being charged as one half hour and each half hour increment being charged as one full hour.

Service is to be provided at the convenience of the subscriber and as the provider's schedule permits.

The service will be an automatically recurring charge to the client's credit card unless the client cancels the service. At the end of a twelve month period the client will automatically receive 6 more hours of computer repair plus one hour from the previous year if one has been unused up to a total of three hours.

A subscriber may cancel the service at any time. At time of cancellation the balance of his subscription must be paid. If he cancels his subscription he still retains the balance of his hours until the twelve months following his initial subscription sign up date.

If a subscriber cancels without notification the subscriber is responsible for any and all fees charged to Bensman Home Computer Repair by the subscriber's credit card company or bank.

This rate does not include costs for parts. Those are to be paid for by the client in addition to the monthly contract fee.

Request to cancel must be provided in writing or via email.

I have read, understand and agree to all of the above.

Your friend, the skeuomorph.

The skeuomorph is something you encounter everyday. a skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. An example would be a car hubcap that had spokes. Once spokes were necessary for such a wheel to work, but they are put on car hubcaps now only to remind us that this is indeed a wheel we are looking at.

Iu mention this because every time my phone takes a picture it makes a small camera noise. This noise is a recording of what someone thinks a camera should sound like when it is taking a picture.
