Welcome to Bernie Vink's Website

I am a Christian who enjoys helping other people

I used to work for Telstra from Jan 1965 till March 2005 (approx 40 years).
And since late 1978 have built, repaired, and upgraded computers (approx 30 years),
starting with HP 2645 workstations and very early 300 baud serial printers, running pre-dos software.
progressing through XT, AT, 386, 486, Pentium 1-4, Core2 and i3/i5/i7 computers,
with the occasional AMD, Cyrix and Sun computer as well.

I live in outer east Melbourne and am willing to help people solve their own problems with computers,
but should the task become too difficult, I will also take the computer away to be repaired or upgraded.

I prefer to solve hardware problems and leave the software problems to other people to solve.

I will gladly build computers for people to their specifications, but there are many companies who do this quite cheaply.

A visit to the pages linked above, will show you companies around eastern Melbourne, who sell computers and parts.
as well as web information sites, who provide information to make solving computer problems easier.

Since March 2005 I am no longer working for Telstra full time, The company has given me the very much hoped for "Golden Handshake".

However occasionally they call me and ask me to come back for a few weeks or months,
to assist in some project or to fill in for a worker on a long holiday, offering me approx $500 a day.

So I am finally free to help as many people as I can. Please feel free to contact me with any computer problems and I will try to help solve them.
