That said, do not take it to Geek Squad. They will charge you about as much money as it would be to buy a new PC.
Not that they are idiots, most of the guys I knew knew their shit, it's just that it's an $11 an hour retail job. You're going to get employees who won't really give a fuck.
Thing is it's not the PC I really care about. It's the info that's on it. Tax returns, pictures, etc.0 -

My Mac is booted camped with Windows 7 and every god damn time I boot into Windows, there's like a 20 minute update.. and then it needs to install the updates.. and then it needs to reboot and configure the updates.. and if I'm lucky, more updates. :-x
Fuck Windows and the time it wastes me to just check my email and stream porn. :twisted:0 -

Most of your data will not be around years from now, no matter how much you back it up. Data corrupts over time.
It is believed that far into the future historians will look back to now with little written documents to tell about our world. The digital era will be a blank period in history.
I would say, if you have cherished photos, print them.. Cherished music, get it on vinyl, and keep printouts of important written documents!0 -
I'm not saying Mac is better, I'm just saying Windows is over kill... I guess just disable everything in Windows, but most don't know how to do that.Brisk. wrote:LikeAnOcean wrote:

At the end of the day it's same shit just different box buut to the reasoning to get a Mac because of constant updates is just silly and you know it ha. I had some updates the past few days and they were the only ones in months. Even when it updates it's all in the background anyway!0 -

I had a Commodore 64, I think it was called a Commodor Vic20, and a Commodore Amiga. 0 -

Old computers rule. Of course you do run into the occasional fiasco...
