Global Computer Help / Audio Help / Books / Inventions
Hello, I'm John Hechtman, a computer and audio tech, also an audio engineer, author, and amateur inventor. I can work with you locally in NYC or NNJ, and also do screen sharing support anywhere in the world. This site gives information about my services, some of my writing, and inventions I'd like to market.
These days I mostly do computers, specializing in end user, and small business support. I service Windows, Macintosh, Atari, and some Linux computers.
For (super-low) rates call - 1 212 459 4323 - and leave your contact information. My fees are 1/3 the cost of Geek Squad, Fire Dog, Computer Geeks, and others!
Please call for a FREE consultation. No cost or obligation - 1 212 459 4323.
If you'd like to book me through OnForce, just click on the logo above and ask OF to assign John H. / Tech ID 9038. I also do tutoring for both computers and audio work, technical writing, sound recording and production, audio studio design, and audio maintenance.
For those I've served through referrals from other companies - I'd love to help you again, but I cannot bypass the company that put me in touch with you. So if you met me through OnForce, or some other company, you must book me through the original referring company. The only exception to this is for customers from any company that has gone out of business. All customers from companies that are OOB can now work directly with me, along with those people who met me personally. Thanks for understanding!
I've added the CrossLoop banner to this website. CrossLoop is an easy to use way for me to access your computer and help you. It's free to use, legal, and 100% secure, since you have to give me a different access code each time it's used to allow me to share your computer screen with you. No access code = no share. You can download CrossLoop for free at www.crossloop.com. It works with both Windows and Macintosh computers.
Tech Support Guy hosts a FREE forum you can ask computer questions in. Just click on the TSG logo at the top of this page. They are some very helpful people!
My book on wiring/building audio recording studios was published recently by Focal Press. The book (called "Audio Wiring Guide") shows you exactly how to wire all popular audio connectors in clear color pictures, with lucid, enjoyable instructions. The book is now in stores globally! Do a Google search with the book's title, and my name - 'Audio Wiring Guide John Hechtman' - and you'll find where to buy it world wide. Very exciting! Check out the rave reviews on Amazon! You can even read part of the book there. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Wiring-Guide-popular-connectors/dp/0240520068
I also wrote a children's book called "The Princess & The Troll". I printed a short run of it as a demo, and am looking for a distributor/publisher. I'll send a copy of the book to any company that's interested, and only ask that it either be purchased or returned Part of it is at: http://home.netcom.com/~jhecht/
I have several inventions. If you're interested in marketing them with me, please send me your email address, and some information about yourself. I'll email you a non-disclosure form, and instructions. Return it to me, and we can talk.
Since this webpage is not interactive, I've started a blog, so people can leave comments, read techy tips I'll post, and explore some of my own creative work. The blog is at: http://zenarrow.com/blog1/

The beautiful pictures below were published by the Northland Poster Collective. They express, better than any words, my own personal and political beliefs...
Sadly, the NPC is now gone, but other distributors are carrying some of the work.
