I work from home. I do onsite repairs for businesses that require it.

My service is unique because I provide my customers with free rescues by voice whenever their operating system needs future repairs. This is made possible by partitioning the hard disk. I move the data folders to the data partition. Finally I paste onto the data partition, an image of the partition running the operating system. Free system rescues wipe clean the operating system, leaving customer's data intact on the data partition. I do this for Windows, Linux & OS X

Download Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit, 1703
VPNBook changes the password every 2 weeks and does not allow you to connect to it automatically. You must manually enter the password each time you connect
I made a video to help customers change the password and connect to VPNBook
I also deploy Opera which has a built in VPN with a connection speed exceeding that of your ISP. However, VPN browser plugins only anonymize the activity of the browser and do not prevent apps like Skype, Windows Media Player and Outlook from broacasing your IP address.

Around Christmas 2016 I decided to deploy 600 songs to the data partition. Now I usually don't bother giving a free music CD.
The 600 songs were a result of my addiction to 8Tracks.com which began from near Christmas 2015 to Christmas 2016. Each playlist is an 80 minute full music CD I would burn then rip the tracks and upload to 8Tracks.com
I created over 35 music CDs to get 600 tracks. So average full CD contains 17 tracks
