The Working Mouse is owned and operated by Danette Christie in the U.S. - Serving the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast since 2000. (I can’t believe it has been eight years already!)

I, “The Mouse” am Oregon grown and have lived in Brookings, Oregon most of my life. I am happily married and a mother of 2 boys, a German Shepard, a cat and if you count my husband (occasionally A.K.A. “The Rat.”) I’m a bit of a night owl, a coffee lover and a recovering diet cola addict. (I do still fall off the wagon…but I am cutting down on the stuff!) Lately, USB flash-removable disk drives have taken over the necklaces and key-chains I own. Many people think I have a fancy blinking blue earring…Blue-tooth earring of course!

Originally, I wanted to publish my own greeting cards and restore old photos. My sister decided it should be called “The Working Mouse” because the mouse would be my tool for my creations.

All those photos I brought back to life, greeting cards & wedding invitations I created is what started it all. I was hooked! My husband and kids used to mess up the computer and I was always the one that fixed it.

Friends and family started asking “How did you do that?” or “How can I do this?” “How do I fix this?” Then, one day someone offered me $ for my time. They needed consultation on what new computer, printer or other nifty gadget to purchase and also needed someone to guide them through this digital world. The rest is history.

Just so you know…No Question is ever stupid! I am very patient, enthusiastic about my work and I have a way of making my lessons fun as well as instructive. I don’t ”Squeak the Geek Speak” and I’m not afraid of cats! The computer is such a wonderful tool. It can really enhance your life in many ways! I’m great at trouble shooting and solving your computer or network problems or any other nifty gadget problems you may have.
