August 2, 2001 EH Events and Education, and Home Networking News, recently announced that they will co-sponsor "Cashing in on the Home PC Market," a free general session to be held Friday, October 26 in Long Beach, CA. The seminar will be part of the Electronic House Expo fall conference program. It will be open to all Expo attendees and sponsored by Home Networking News; it will examine the growing market for home PC support services.
Panelists will include Brian Woods, vice president of technical services for CompUSA; Robert Stephens, founder and chief inspector with Geek Squad; Gordon Van Zuiden, president of Cybermanor; and Avi Rosenthal, principal of Homeworks Automation. Julie Jacobson, editor of Home Networking News, will moderate the panel. Home Networking News is published by EH Publishing, and is a member of the Electronic House family of publications (www.electronichouse.com).
"There is no established profession for servicing PC-related networks in the home," says Jacobson. "Let's face it, the popularity of home networks and the rash of new products that presumably can be interconnected has made the home-networking environment ever-more complicated for the consumer, despite real improvements in user interfaces, configuration wizards, and tech-support lines."
