-- Giant retailer (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) (Which retailer?)
-- Family member or friend (Are they OK with it?)
-- I do everything myself (How did you become so self-reliant?)
-- I don't, I just go out an buy a new computer (Do you have a lot of machines sitting around?)

Self Reliant PC Repair
by maldelus - 5/25/07 8:11 PM In reply to: who does my computer repairs by udrtratI learned the computer by having a Zenith Z248 dumped on me by the USN. I had to learn without schooling other than a blinking white cursor. I purchased and read the complete Time Life series "Understanding Computers." I took one college course in computer uses. I took advantage of NRI, PCDI, and ICS courses in computer repair and general use. Having purchased and using five different PCs, I had no choice but to work with a variety of software in the DOS and Windows environments and learning about keeping my PCs ticking. Heck, I even had a closet full of PC periperals and a variety of items from attaching screws, cables, drives, and various cards along with multimeters and tools. I can modify, upgrade and recommend based on traversing every evolution of PC from the 286 to the current dual core processor technology. Yes, I'm using and am hooked on Microsoft's Windows Vista Home Premium. At least I can say goodbye to the 56k modem limits.
Best computer configuration for photo and video computing?
by StarChart - 5/26/07 11:10 AM In reply to: who does my computer repairs by udrtratI am heavily involved with digital photography and video processing. I use a 2004 Model Sony Vaio PCV-RZ54G, 3.20GHz Intel P4-HT CPU, 1G ram, 500G HD, GeForce FX5200 w/128meg, an ASUS P4SD-VL MB, WIN XPMCE 2005, 2 Optical drives plus externals. I use Adobe PS CS-2 and Creator 9 for photo and video work. I am interested in system configurations others find best for this type of work. This system is 3 years old and I need to prepare for the future.
Recovery CD's for Sony PCV-RZ54G
by vicwebb1 - 5/23/08 7:58 AM In reply to: Best computer configuration for photo and video computing? by StarChartMy sons Sony PCV-RZ54G seems to have a bad hard disk and he didn't create the recovery CD's. Is it possible to get a copy from you. It is XP Media Edition. I've checked with Sony and some employee in their infinite wisdom decided not to offer these cd's for purchase anymore. You may e-mail me at: vicwebb1@comcast.net

Who does my computer repairs
by lynnesmith - 5/27/07 12:45 PM In reply to: who does my computer repairs by udrtratI always take my computer to Webb Systems at Bulwell in Nottingham. They are very good at fixing, upgrading and getting rid of any rubbish you have on your computer. They are a small but reliable business who will not rip you off and they do not charge the earth. I am very happy to deal with them and would not hesitate to recommend them.
I do most upgrades myself but

when certain things need doing (like replacing a motherboard as happened recently) or when I get baffled I call in a local guy who is a Mr Fix-it. He usually works with the tech crew at the local PC Club shop for parts and even more stubborn problems. Since I handle about 11 computers between work and home this works out well for all.
I do most all of the work myself but

When I run into a problem I have to call Rick at ATTL Computers. He knows them inside and out.

The last couple of times I needed computer help I checked the white pages for a local shop and found OnSite Computers in Middle River, MD. I was very impressed with Jerry's knowledge and very appreciative of his reasonable charges. I would recommend him to anyone and won't hesitate to call him if I have more computer problems which I can't handle.

Not many places......
by Over_kill - 5/27/07 11:33 PM In reply to: I have the best... by aliensquirlYea, I'm here in Dundalk,MD. ,and there isn't too many places around,besides Bestbuy and Circuit City,but they are way too over priced for repairs.
I'll keep OnSite in mind.
I forgot to mention...
by aliensquirl - 5/28/07 9:58 PM In reply to: Not many places...... by Over_kill... that OnSite does what their name implies... they do in-home work and I was under the weather last time I had puter problems.
I have also used Hi-Tech Processing at 525 Eastern Blvd. in Essex and they are very good with reasonable charges also, but they have cut down to two or three days weekly.

Do it all myself
by winsoftwareman - 5/25/07 7:48 PM In reply to: Who does your computer upgrades or repairs? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
My first computer was a windows 356. i then got a 98 and an hp laptop. my hp laptop got stolen, so i bought a Toshiba in 2002. I was still using 98 on my pc, but when 98's registry failed, i upgraded it to XP. with a un-costly RAM upgrade, it ran great. When vista came out, i got a lenovo vista home premium for $540! I still use my 2002 Toshiba laptop today, but I plan to get a lenovo laptop soon. I like lenovo now because the computers are cheap but reliable and fast.
i do it all myself
by data40 - 5/25/07 8:00 PM In reply to: Do it all myself by winsoftwaremani do myself becouse its cheaper an you know what is in there and if any thing goes wrong you can sort out the problem your self i would ot send it to the repair people becouse the mght look at turn it on and it might come on and they might say its done and they have not done any thing to it or they might change soft wear
