  • View of my Desk at the Repair Shop

    Have you ever wanted to see a Computer Geeks Desk? I have to admit that it is not anything fancy. I don’t have anything expensive to show off. No latest Macbook Pros. No Purple M1 iMac. Not even unnecessary LED lights on the mouse and keyboard. Just the tools of the trade for repairing Macs…

  • M1 iMac and AirTags, I Told you!!!

    Did I get up at 3 AM to watch the Apple Announcement about the M1 iMac? Yes, I did. I was up at 3:AM watching the event. I’m geeky like that. In a previous post about my predictions about the Apple Spring Loaded event, My predictions were actually not too bad. Everything that I predicted…

  • New Apple Event!! April 20th

    I’m excited! I used to really love the apple events even before I worked there. This is something that If I had the day off I would stop everything and watch Steve Jobs walking across the stage and wowing everyone with every word. Working at Apple I was always kept in the dark about what…
