15 Last-Minute Gift Ideas 5

by Chad Mumm on December 24, 2008 at 12:01 AM


For the tech averse, some tech support...

Not all of us have advanced degrees in computing and some people just seem to be prone to computer troubles. Help out a friend next time their machine goes south and get them some professional help on call with a gift card for the Best Buy Geek Squad ($15, bestbuy.com). PC or Mac, the Geeks do it all, including handle repairs and set-ups for other home electronics like TVs, audio players, and home theater equipment, among other gadgetry. If your gift recipients are embarrassed about their messy floor, or are simply having problems with a PC, then give 'em the new Norton PC Tune-up service ($69.99, Symantec.com). Your imperiled PC user can simply call up Norton in his or her pajamas and watch as an expert remotely connects to their computer and diagnoses the problem.
