I read something interesting the other day about former star of the hit series “The Brady Bunch”, Florence Henderson. She just launched a site aimed at helping baby boomers get over the hurdles of advancing technology. If you happen to fall in the group that has lagged behind in computers, and still think floppy disks are used to store files, don’t despair help is near.

“It’s like roadside assistance for computers”

With all the hardware, software and internet advancement  that has evolved over the years, it’s enough to confuse the average computer user, let alone a newbie or someone who just has a hard time with technology. How many social networks are there right now? Myspace and Facebook aren’t the only ones–there dozens and then a thousands more of application available out there.

What is FLOH?

FloH is basically tech support over the phone for any issue you might have with your computer. Some of those issues may include:

• Help with setup
• virus scanning and protection
• Help with learning how to email or upload pictures
• Help with purchasing items online
• Solve major or small issues with your computer
• Basic to advanced services
  

Membership Plans

They have everything from a one time usage plan which is around $49.00 to an annual membership which is around $250.00 These plans are designed to solve one issue or several. Included in the annual program are tutorial services. You can learn basic email to setting up a home network.

Is this plan right for me?

Here is the quiz the FloH Club suggests you ask yourself before deciding if this program is right for you.

If even one of the following statements sometimes applies to you or to someone you care about, The FloH Club’s plans and services would benefit you.
“When I use my computer, _____.”

1. I feel like I need a teacher.

4. I worry about getting a computer virus.
5. I doubt I am using technology to the fullest.
6. I know I am missing opportunities to connect with friends and loved ones.
7. I can’t get devices such as a printer, scanner, digital camera, or MP3 player to work with my computer.
