Triona's Tech Tips

It was 1998. Windows 98 had just been released. Apple introduced the first iMac, and a little company called Google was formed. I was a seasoned IT worker trying to decide my next venture. I’d done everything from help desk support to Internet security, but my only options for career advancement meant getting away from the technology I enjoyed.

Most of my experience had been with large companies, places with plenty of IT staff. But I also knew some small business owners and people with home computers. They struggled to find the same sort of IT help that was readily available at the larger organizations. It occurred to me that I could take my skills and help those people succeed.

Thus was born my company, which later became Guidry Consulting, Inc. My goal, then as now, is to help small businesses and consumers with their computers. My initial services included tech support for PCs and Macs, everything from large-scale networks to individual machines. Since then I’ve broadened my skills to include web design, blogs, social networking, seminars, and freelance writing on business and technology.

It’s amazing how far technology has come in twelve years. Equipment once available only for enterprises is now affordable for consumers. Security and privacy issues have gone from viruses on floppy disks to data mining and Facebook scams. Yet, at its core, what we do with technology remains the same: we communicate, we inspire, we seek better solutions.

I look forward to continuing to help you with all your computer needs.
