Wiggidy wiggidy whack

Well, I'm at work again, a fairly normal Saturday for me lately. Going over paperwork from meetings, working out my schedule of meetings next week, and processing material. I met with a client and a potential outlet for leaded glass this week, and those went very well. We're doing a couple site visits next week and meeting with more clients, as well as a buyer for truckload quantity computers. Things are really picking up around here.

I really started writing to ponder and complain about how we've gotten to a state where everything is disposable rather than repairable. Just this morning a recertified 2 computers, each less than 2 years old. One of them was perfectly fine, they just had a lot of spyware and viruses installed, so rather than take the time to clean it up, or even maintain it and not put all that junk on there in the first place, they got rid of it and got a new computer. I just wiped the drive and installed EONS, 3 minutes of actual work. The second needed a new power supply, a $10 fix. Instead they went and spent over $600. Maybe I shouldn't complain, this is job security for me, but it just seems wasteful and silly to me. If your car gets a flat tire do you get rid of it? Of course not. So what's the cutoff of cost? Obviously under $20,000. Some of these people don't take care of their computers, get viruses, and every year buy a new computer. I've had the same computer for 5 years now, and it's still very fast, all it takes is maintenance.

One of the things we'll be offering once I get the front of the building are classes. One of those will be in computer maintenance. Hopefully people take it and learn something, though I will be decreasing my business some. Oh well, it's worth it to me.
