A friend of mine has an Xbox 360 that didn't work.

It had a red light issue and displayed an error message on the teevee. (E74. System Error. Contact Xbox Customer Support.)
Being semi-sorta geeky I told him I'd try to find the cure...

There were lots of sites and YouTube videos out there, but nothing I tried would fix the problem.
I was directed to a guy named Jonathan Siegert while asking for help in 24hoursupport.helpdesk.
(Try this link for you young'un's who don't know about Usenet and haven't set up your newsgroup reader software.)
I wrote to
Mr. Siegert and he
exuded confidence.
He actually tried very hard, since I was game, to walk me though fixing the Xbox
by myself.
When finally I had to concede, he quoted be an incredibly reasonable price to
fix the damned thing and I was confident, judging by his manner, that he was up
to the task. I sent off the broken and useless machine and before I knew it,
Jonathan mailed it back all clean and working!
My friend was happy.
I'm putting up this link to his website because I'm a capitalist and also own a small business, and I believe that people who do a good job deserve recognition and reward.
I'm not being paid to put up this page so y'all go and give Jonathan some business.
