This is going to hurt. If Orion's experience with his own home machine and his brother's machine is any guide, it' s going to hurt.
Both could have been easily solved with a reformat and reinstall, but I choose instead to try and learn what went wrong. Judgement call, but part of the learning process.
People recognize Computer City as a major name, they don't recognize you.
Agreed, we need to get our name out there somehow. I will be taking a class in marketing. While we won't be as sucessful or well known as Circuit City, we should be able to get enough customers to stay in business.
I am browsing the [link|http://www.circuitcity.com/|http://www.circuitcity.com/] web site, I see computer repair services being offered there. [link|http://www.circuitcity.com/cs_contentdisplay.jsp?c=1&b=g&incat=11171|http://www.circuitci...1&b=g&incat=11171] I do not know what they charge. Perhaps you can help shed some light on this subject?
Also what about Best Buy? [link|http://www.bestbuy.com/|http://www.bestbuy.com/] they seem to have a repair service, but do not give out what their prices are either.
Prices from either company may vary, I've dealt with Circuit City before on camcorder repair. The cost of repairing a camcorder exceeded the cost of buying a new one. If their computer repair prices are anything like their camcorder repair prices, we undercut them.
