			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Company is doing great!" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/c/co/cobrasoft/1131299_graph_line_up_and_down_1.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="153" />Lately people have been asking me, &#8220;How&#8217;s the business going?&#8221; Well, I like to tell them that it is going pretty good. People are getting their computer fixed, and I hope to be able to say one day &#8220;There are no more computers to be fixed!&#8221; Ohhh how weird would that be? Everybody has a completely working, 100% usable computer with no viruses, no spyware, no dust, no overheating, no problems at all.</p>
<p>That would be one strange world, and to some, a euphoria. Not to me though, then what would I do for a living? Why would I write a essentially do-it-yourself style blog with simple tips put in to easy to read tutorials? There would be little to no reason to write such a blog! That&#8217;s fine, because I am not too worried that all computers will someday be magically fixed and made into some sort of auto-cleaning, auto-fixing super power.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/systems-2008/lian-li/tremeloes/lian-li-pc-a01-htpc.htm"><img class="size-full wp-image-357 alignright" title="Super Clean Auto-Repairing Magical PC of Wonderment" src="http://www.fixitrepair.org//wp-content/uploads/2010/01/5zuv3.jpg" alt="Super Clean Auto-Repairing Magical PC of Wonderment" width="237" height="323" /></a>I bite my tongue though, because with all of the crazy gadgets that have been spoken about at CES this year, who knows what next year will bring. Every year more and more crazy gadgets are released, and soon, maybe there will be a utility invented that, quite simply, fixes computers. Completely. I would definitely buy stock in that! It would probably end up like some sort of crazy dot come craze, and then they would tank after they flood the market with their super popular and absolutely perfect computer fixing tool. I&#8217;m ranting now, but I think that is good.</p>
<p>Anyways, just in case that doesn&#8217;t come around any time soon I&#8217;d like to let everybody know that I am here to stay. I am here to help you all out the best I can, send me emails with questions, send me emails with problems, send me emails! I will gladly answer them all as fairly as possible, and I will never say &#8220;sorry, can&#8217;t help ya!&#8221; &#8211; Never. There is no reason for anybody to not have an answer, or at least a finger to point you in the right direction.</p>
<p>FixIt Computer Repair is being developed with a promise of delivering your computer on time, always being on time for appointments, and always delivering like Domino&#8217;s. FixIt Computer repair, is essentially just that, a promise. And like I said earlier, I am definitely not going anywhere any time soon. I love the expression on customer&#8217;s faces when I tell them that there is nothing to worry about, all the spyware has been succesfully removed, and all of the viruses that they had have been removed to. Just yesterday a nice woman told me &#8220;Oh thank goodness there are people like you out there.&#8221; I left her house with a huge smile on my face, and to be completely honest, I felt like I was on Cloud 9. I think I might have literally skipped around a little bit while going to my car.</p>
<p>I love what I do. I live for what I do. It&#8217;s great, and you get to meet all sorts of amazing people who are in distress and simply need someone to lighten up there day. The spiritual reward is just as great as any monetary reward that comes after the job is done. Sure, you can charge someone $100, but you don&#8217;t go around telling your friends the story of how you made $100, you go around telling your friends about the guy who want&#8217;s those porn shortcuts taken off his desktop because he has ways of getting himself in trouble, he doesn&#8217;t need any help.</p>
<p>Now <em>that</em> is a story.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Energizer Bunny" src="http://www.sarasotamasters.com/images/Energizer%20Bunny.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="164" />I love hearing from past customers, I love hearing how they are doing and how their computers are still alive and kicking, even after years and years of dedicated work. The computer is quite the workhorse, especially if you never turn it off. Think about what would happen if you never slept? Well, you would die.. computer&#8217;s dont! They keep going and going, kind of like the energizer bunny. So if a computer from 2002 is still working, I like to call it elderly. It will still work, it will still get it&#8217;s jobs done, but it might just take a little bit longer.</p>
<p>After your poor ol&#8217; trusty computer has reached it&#8217;s end, it is time to put it to sleep. But like everything in life, something new cannot be born without something from the original. This is why you backup your data. You backup all of the data needed and move it onto the new computer, and the files themselves are, essentially, happier. Your Microsoft Word files load 10x faster, your movies load faster as well and of course they play smoother, too.</p>
<p>Getting a new computer is something that must be done, I&#8217;d say do a full upgrade about every four years, if you message me and say &#8220;My computer is about 6 years old and&#8230;&#8230;&#8221; I will immediately reply letting you know that computer&#8217;s are coming down in price, and you can probably get a computer that is at minimum five times faster than the one you currently are working on, for probably a lot less than you could imagine.</p>
<p>Computer&#8217;s from places like Dell and Gateway and Lenovo and even Apple are great computers, they last for a long time and have a great support staff backing you and your crazy ideas about expanding the memory to a whopping 32GB! Yeah, that might be a little far fetched, but the support staff will help you through those crazy decisions, and probably dial your crazy-o-meter to about 4GB of memory instead.</p>
<p>There are always companies like that, offering you great deals, reasonable prices, and a great overall experience. But then there are people like me. Friendly people, not a very large company, just a friendly local guy who is helping out neighbors. People like me are all over the country, from the west coast, to the easy coast you can find someone just like me who want to actually help you and solve your problems.</p>
<p>I will gladly build you a computer, from scratch, custom. Made to order. I will be your Computer-esque Burger King, all you have to do is give me a chance. I will prove to you that I can get your computer setup gracefully and efficiently, and with time to spare. If you are in the Naperville region, <a title="Contact Mike" href="http://www.fixitrepair.org//contact/" target="_self">give me a call, or even send me an email</a>. All I need to know is what you use the computer for, I can give you what I think an estimated budget will be for a computer from simple word processing tasks, to something that needs to perform almost constant CAD renderings (or you can just give me a budget, that works too!)</p>
<p>I really hope this epicly long post shed some light onto what exactly I am. What I am here for, and why I wont to keep my start-up business going strong. I remind you, I am not going anywhere. I am here to stay.</p>
<p>Are you?</p>
