Every day I power up my Mac and get to the business of checking emails, Facebook, my calendar, and the most important thing, my clients design work. You don't give it much thought until your computer doesn't do what you need it to do...the screen is frozen and the hard drive is chugging away...panic sets in. Panic sets in because your computer never acts up when you are in between projects or have a loose time line. Noooo, it happens when you are in the middle of a big project the last week before it needs to go to print!
Now, I view my computer like I do my car – I know how to drive my car and follow the rules of the road, but I don't know, nor do I have a desire to know, the mechanics of how it operates. Same with computers. I know my design software, the ins and outs of my email program and social media sites, but I have no desire to know the technical logistics behind how they work. That's why I take my car to a mechanic and my computer to the Apple experts. Enter the best Apple repair shop in town, Team Technology. No long lines at the mall and very helpful, knowledgeable staff. They are a hidden gem in the southeast metro located in Woodbury. http://www.teamteks.com/Site/home.html
All is well in my world for now. I can pick up my computer just 24 hours later with a new drive installed and ready to tackle that catalog deadline. It's pretty likely after six years with my Mac, that I will be budgeting for a new computer in the next year!
