I was in a meeting a couple of days ago when someone told me “My computer guy says that there’s no point in repairing my computer. Might just as well toss it and buy a new one.” WHAT? That’s outrageous!
There was a time when software technologies were becoming so big and bulky at such a pace that your current computer became obsolete almost as soon as you bought it. That “fact” was pretty much common knowledge and people still believe it today. But it’s no longer true and hasn’t been for several years. When it came to software bloat, Microsoft was in my opinion the biggest culprit of all. They kept making bigger, fatter operating systems that required more and more processing power and memory… until Vista. But Vista came under massive criticism for this (and for many other issues). Microsoft was forced to deliver performance fixes, and with Windows 7, they implicitly admitted that bigger is no longer better.
In other words, you don’t have to buy a new computer to handle newer technologies because the market has had enough of that. Windows 7 will run on virtually any machine today and it will run well.
That was just one example. The bottom line is, although you can go out and spend thousands of dollars on a computer with 8 processors today, for all intents and purposes your old single core machine can still probably do it all very well, at least for the average home and business user. All it may need is a tune-up and possibly a memory upgrade and it’ll run as good as new. in fact we at TPteQ make this promise: “Bring it to us and we will make it run BETTER than new. That’s our guarantee!” And at a fraction of the cost of that new computer.
Please don’t toss out that old machine. And please don’t forget about us. We need your business because there are two of us here full time now. Bring us that old computer that’s sitting languishing in the corner. Let’s revive it and get it back up and humming.
Can’t wait to hear from you!
