Precise Logic

Back in the early 1990s, I became the go-to-guy for most of my family, friends and co-workers for computer issues. After spending yet another evening working on someones PC trying to get their DOS applications to run, I decided that I could start a small business doing in-home PC repairs.

I wanted to have a company name and my wife and I sat down and tried to come up with a good one. She had the idea to write a list of adjectives and nouns that describe me and put them together in various combinations. Some worked better than other. "Stubborn Jokester"probably wouldn't inspire confidence in potential customers. What she came up with was Precise Logic Computer Solutions. And I have used the name ever since.

As a side note, in case anyone is wondering why Precise Logic isn't a computer repair company anymore, after about a year of having my name in the local Yellow Pages, I came to the following conclusions:

1. Companies who need PC support are willing to pay twice as much to an established company but won't hire an individual.
2. Individuals don't think they should pay anything to have their computer repaired in their home.
3. Once you repair someone's computer, they think that all future repairs should be free.

So Precise Logic turned out to be a one year experiment. I made almost exactly enough money to pay for the new PC that I bought, so it wasn't a complete loss, but I loved the name "Precise Logic" and kept it for my email addresses ever since.
