# woo and all that, THREADJACK for compo
I just started a business doing home pc help, installing hardware/ software etc. home IT consultancy basically. I'm now making a website, but I can't buy the URL until I've named the company.
I was thinking of going with a medical theme along the lines of 'PC Medic', or 'PC Doctor' (if only so I can start calling myself Dr James Busta) but not naff. And also I'm not sure that having a medical ring to it can adequately convey that we (I) do other things than just fixing computers.

To summarise, here is what the name should try to encapsulate -
targetted at home customers, not business
Fixing computer problems
installing stuff
networking
professional yet friendly and all that rubbish
cheap

But to be honest I'll just go for a snappy name.

Oh, and I need a logo too.

Winner gets an Anime soundtrack of their choice (limited to 10 choices), or a pint, or both if it's really good.

Once enough people believe that Excel is a database, then it will be...
Technically, it can be used as a database, I suppose.
