Hi, thanks for visiting. My name is John Batteen. I'm a home and small business technology consultant based in Goodhue County, Minnesota, between Northfield and Cannon Falls. If you need technology that you don't know how to set up, or have problems with existing computers and electronics, I'm the guy to talk to. My email address is john@batteen.com, and my phone number is 507-581-1813.
If you need a high performance desktop PC for drafting, 3D modeling, coding or any other application, you'll pay an arm and a leg for a premanufactured unit to serve your needs, and might be paying for capabilities you don't need. Instead, I will take your needs and budget into consideration and craft you customized machine. On the other end of the spectrum, I can also build budget PCs in the neighborhood of $300. I will test all the hardware first to make sure it's functional, and preinstall the operating system and other software you want. My typical rate is parts + $100, but that can vary either way depending on the complexity of the system. Contact me for a customized quote.
Whether you're experiencing hardware or software malfunctions, I can diagnose and repair most any problem.
If you need to add or expand Wi-Fi access, I'll get you set up in the most cost-effective way possible.
Still running an old version of Windows or OSX? I'll assess your hardware's capability, and upgrade to the latest operating system it will run effectively.
If you want to learn how to do something with a phone, PC, home entertainment system or other technology, I'll come show you just how to make it work. I'm very patient and good at explaining things simply.
I have over a decade's experience with open source operating systems. If you want a server on your LAN to share printers, storage, or other capabilities, I can build a system to suit your needs.
If you have a problem with technology, I can probably solve it. Even if it's not on this list, feel free to get a hold of me to see what I can do. My email address is john@batteen.com, and my phone number is 507-581-1813.
