MakeItWork will come to your home or office and make “it” work. “It” can be practically anything - set up your TiVo, fix your computer, install your home entertainment system and - this one is a classic - train you on how to use your iPod! For the busy, or the gadgetry challenged, they are the final defense against total embarrassment.

Makeitwork has a catchy flash website, with the intro on the home page claiming that they are “Turning customer service upside down”.
