Daily News Brief: Can You Trust Local PC Repair Shops?
Posted 04/30/2008 at 08:32:03am
I don't think this is a fair evaluation of local computer repair shops. The main shops evaluated were chain stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. Smaller locally owned stores may have faired better (at least I would like to think that I would have caught the problem). Furthermore, it's not easy to run a local computer repair business and if a tech can't answer the question quickly or thinks it will take more time than the computer is worth, he/she makes a judgment call. The problem isn't as simple as "the tech didn't solve a simple problem." Michael in Dallas
In the lab: Will Smith Experiments with 64-bit Vista
Posted 03/05/2008 at 11:07:34am
I just started using vista64 business with sp1 and have had no major problems, especially not with drivers or hardware. All my hardware works great, but a couple of games won't update properly. I also have an x-fi card. Will, have you tested sp1 for vista 64 yet? Is sp1 stable?
