Scott is a busy guy, so he needed a few days to schedule me, which is fine. Busy people are generally busy because their work is known, respected and sought after. Scott and Rebecca gave me excellent customer service, kept me informed.
Scott took the box home with him to run full, comprehensive scans and tests. My computer is running fine now. Scott even got rid of an annoying and unneeded graphics card that had a bad fan that had periodically been making noises for a few years. I got so used to it, I pretty much ignored it, but Scott recommended removing it since the motherboard has adequate graphics support built into it. Now I compute in welcome silence!
Scott also saved me some bucks on hard drive strategy. My PC has just an 80 GB drive in it. My thought had been to purchase a 250 GB drive and have Scott copy the files, operating system, etc., to the new drive, then make that the new C-drive. His advice was: save that money to go toward a new PC with a much larger hard drive some day. Meanwhile, move up from my current, old-fashioned (and time-consuming) DVD backups to cloud-based backups with Carbonite, the service he prefers. There are others you can explore: http://www.thetop10bestonlinebackup.com/?count=10&count=all&filter-storage=all&filter-price=all
but? I'm going with Carbonite. The "cheaper" ones are not really cheaper once you get past the limited "free" account (I tried the myPCBackup "free" trial - it only backs up 30 files, then starts barraging you with upgrade offers that basically bring it up to Carbonite's cost and beyond - but, do your own research, make your own decision on that one.
Responding to some emails that I had sent, Scott did a follow-up visit to diagnose a couple of curiosities that cropped up after his first visit. There were no real problems, just some settings to adjust. He also told me that some rapidly blinking lights on my keyboard, even after power down, were caused by an old, faulty port on the box, not by the keyboard itself. Sold me a nice USB port keyboard from his vehicle, $15. Problem solved.
Great work by two true professionals. I will definitely use them again.
Thank you, Scott and Rebecca!
