I spend too much time on the web, way too much. I spend too much time with the computers but hell it could be worst. I guess i could be in a tree stand like the other people my age.

I like to work on computers, fiking them and building them. I almost started doing that for a living, but I decided to go into engineering in stead.

It is laptop week for me. I have started learning some component level repair, well not learning but implementing anyway. I can say that about my last job, i did learn alot of things to carry to my next occupation and one is laptop repair. There are not alot of people in town doing that type of thing, or any for that matter. More and more people are using laptops since the price has gone down, problem is not many people are fixing them. Fortunately the technology is still not too small for me to work on. Now camcorders have gotten too small and i cannot do component level repair on something like that, just too small to work with. Laptops though are easy enough to troubleshoot and repair.

Really I always thought that if a laptop breaks, chances are they are history.

The hardest problem for most people is trying to get them open. Manufacturers hide the screw pretty well for asthetic purposes. I would not try to work on one personally unless you have done it a bit. Ironcage can tell you it can be tedious given some manufacurers like to use different screws for every section of the laptop. Nothing worse than tearing down a Toshiba and having 100 screw, 20 different lengths.

If i had the guts to open a shop i think i would do ok. Just too risky though, someone else is going to be the brave one. If you notice no computer places stay around very long in Mobile, Baldwin County. Look at the dead ones.

Entre'
PCS (Microsoft sued)
Raetech
Computer Land (think so)
Quest (Microsoft sued)
Tandy
Accessible (gone ?)
Gulf Coast Computers (gone ?)

And about 20 more Mom and Pop shops.
I probably forgot some, but it is getting late.
