Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems
Hi! You've found a page that was previously published on OpenSourceSmall.biz, a web site associated with the book John wrote called Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems. This book is available for purchase at Amazon (affiliate link), but we've rolled all the web site content into John's business site.
Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you need anything!
Taking a stand

I'm the token computer consultant in a local chapter of a business group, and I provide all kinds of services related to computers. Earlier this week I announced to the group that I don't fix Windows machines. I know plenty of other computer consultants who make a fine living cleaning viruses, spyware, and fixing Windows issues.
I prefer to address business problems, come up with creative solutions that help businesses move forward, not fix what should already be working. And today I read a fine post by one of my favorite bloggers, which illustrates some of my motivation: Seth's Blog: "No" to average.
