My wife and I recently did a computer switch. What I mean is that she bought a new computer and I got her old one. I don’t mind, but I usually get a machine that is a few years old with a processor that has been worked hard, since my wife designs website for a living, and a keyboard that has taken its fair share of pounding. So, she gets a sleek, shiny new machine and I get her leftovers. Well, as you probably guessed, my computer started acting up. Slow loading, program freezes, and just general slow performance. I didn’t want to send it to the manufacturer since we were out of warranty, and just a diagnostics was going to run over $100. Then I remembered something one of my friends in California had done. He did a search for orange county computer servicesand found a great place to take his computer in for face to face tech support. I decided to do the same. I searched for computer services in my area and found a couple of small businesses that dealt in diagnostics. The good news is that I got the machine into them, they cleaned it up for a small fee, and now I have a machine that, while not perfect, does function better.
