“The Mantle Isn’t the Only Thing You Should Dust”
Everything breaks. Yes, that includes everything. I can already hear the emotional outcry from Mac owners and fanboys, “Macs never break! Macs rule!” I am so sorry to inform you of the contrary. We have seen enough Apple computers in our shop to know that that is simply not the case. Everything breaks at some ...
“Sick of the economy? Shop local!”
I think pretty much everyone is experiencing at least a little disgust with the state of our nation’s economy right now. I have no intention to speak politically in this post; it is sufficient to say that our nation is not nearly as financially stable as it once was. There are still too many people ...
“Squeaky-clean Windows”
So you bought a new computer, did you? I can just see you unboxing it ever-so-gently, staunchly guarding it against your children who want to mess with it before you do, and hooking it up so very, very tenderly, making certain that absolutely everything was connected snugly and perfectly. Now, I see you sitting back ...
“Tax Free is Coming!”
July 15, 2011 I wanted to take this opportunity to remind the millions of loyal, faithful readers that Tax Free Weekend is coming up! If you purchase a computer whose value is less than $1,500 between August 5-7 on this year, you will not have to pay sales tax! Computer Depot is planning to offer ...
Google+
July 8, 2011 There is no question that the Internet is going to define this generation. Imagine how less useful and/or fun the Internet would be without these household terms: 1) YouTube 2) Facebook 3) Twitter 4) eBay 5) Google 6) Craigslist These are listed in no particular order, but each one has in its ...
“Google Chrome FTW”
July 1, 2011 FTW is “For the win,” for those who are bound to ask. Now, for the longest time I have been a staunch and loyal user of Mozilla Firefox. I never use Internet Explorer. I join the ranks of tens of thousands of technicians around the globe who would tell you, “There is ...
“I Don’t Hate Apple”
June 21, 2011 My wife told me recently, “You know, I read all of your blogs; and you have a very strong anti-Apple sentiment, don’t you?” Of course, I responded innocently, “Why, whatever do you mean?” The truth is, I do not hate Apple. I actually am fond of the company. I believe that they make ...
“Even if Your Head Isn’t in the Clouds, Your Data Might Be”
June 7, 2011 Are we all moving to the Cloud? It sure looks that way. What is the Cloud? You might have heard of what I am talking about already, but in case you havent, I will explain. By “Cloud,” I certainly am not referring to the white fluffy stuff in the sky. “The Cloud” in ...
“iDon’t,” “iCan’t, or “iWon’t?”
June 2, 2011 The new decade is thus far proving to be a battle of the toys. Everyone wants the latest and greatest thing out there. How many of you have seen the new “pads” or “tablets” that have been showing up everywhere? It seems as if every company on the planet is jumping on ...
“zomg I’m infected! But I’m using a Mac! :(“
May 25, 2011 One of the hardest battles we face at Computer Depot is the battle against false impressions. Allow me to list a few: 1) Dell makes the best computer. Anywhere. Period. 2) $700 is too much to pay for a good laptop when, “You can buy one at Wal-Mart for $400.” 3) It is ...
