On January 24, the Macintosh computer celebrated its 30th birthday. In a recent article from Windows IT Pro, one PC repair professional commemorated the event by recalling all his interesting experiences servicing the computer.
He remembers how difficult it was to even get the original Mac open—a feat that required a 12-inch hex driver to remove several screws and a special “Mac Cracker” to separate the front and back housings. He also recalled how the computer’s video tube produced a strong shock that left fingers numb for several minutes, was loud enough to resemble a “resounding thunderclap” that could “freak people out,” and could produce a lightshow in the dark.
He also mentions that the Macs were relatively easy to fix from a hardware perspective, but were absolutely “atrocious” when taken from a software perspective. He also subtly hints that Macs cost a lot of money to fix.
However, he also cites his experience repairing the original Mac systems as one of the things that taught him a lot about the work of repairing computers. Being so difficult to fix, he affirms their role as a “part of [his] baby steps into caring about [the] computing industry.”
Similarly, every professional who provides expert computer repair in Philadelphia has been through a similar experience. Without the difficulties they went through in trying to provide quality computer repair assistance for their customers, they certainly wouldn’t have learned the lessons they learned that now allow them to provide excellent service.
So next time you send your computer in to be repaired with a trusted Philadelphia computer repair service, like Scorpion Computers, take a moment to remember the difficult computer problems they have helped you solve in the past. Then, trust that they’ll draw on their wealth of experience to give you the best solution every time.
