CPR Does Computer Repair of the Best Kind

It had to happen. The cell phone repair shop that has been fixing all devices smart, has graduated to repairing computers – cheap and fast.

They break down so often that if it was anything more expendable, we'd abandon the computer age en masse. But we need them, like a co-dependency that won't quit. Still, the computers crash and crash so much that you get the urge to mash and mash – and they're not potatoes. What kind of computers will CPR fix? Any brand of laptop or desktop is doable. Got a virus or too much spam? Worried about hackers or spyware? Is your broadband like the freeway at rush hour, clogged and mired so you can't get wired? We can repair your 'puter so that it's cuter. Can't access your email or Twitter? Bring it over to CPR and cease your titter.

It was inevitable that we learned about software and hard drives and modems. Got Windows on your PC or Final Cut Pro on your Mac? It doesn't matter. We can fix it without much adieu for you, just for you.

Where that familiar smile on your FaceBook? What, you can't access it? The Internet is down. You can't even get WORD to work. Your favorites are being neglected now that you've crashed? Your passwords and URLs are worthless suddenly, don't you know? CPR does computers now. We can fix 'em. Yes we can. Our expert technicians are compulsive geeks when it comes to making your desktop seek, especially on Google but on other search engines too.

Says Stanley L. Succotash who was a vegetable before he started fixing computers for CPR, "I am genuinely curious about what ails your 'puter," he asserts with his distinctive Japanese brogue. "I like to poke around their innards. I'd do it for free if CPR didn't pay me. It's a compulsion, like eating gravy with turkey on Thanksgiving. I can't help it. I fix computers for CPR. That's my life purpose. I've found my religion."

Says Stanley's brother Seth P. Succotash, who also fixes computers for CPR, "He ain't heavy. He's my brother." Of course we already knew that.

CPR to the Rescue

If you lose your cell phone, desperation kicks in, but if you get it wet, real wet, don't despair. CPR will come to the rescue to fix your wet device good as new … until you lose it again.

A friend of mine recently had his cell phone stolen. "It was worse than losing my wallet," he moaned. "I was devastated," he said, and the Isle of Despair drifted into mind. With devices such as the Nokia N97, the Palm Pre, and the iPhone 3G s now on the scene, it's easy to guess why. "I had all my phone numbers on my cell phone," my friend moaned, shedding real tears instead of the Croc kind. Many users of these devices store not just phone numbers, but address and other contact information on their mobile handsets. Information such as digital photos, videos, calendars, and music downloads of their fave tunes. Getting one stolen brings up other concerns – such as a user's personal information being used for fraudulent means. It's so much easier if you just happen to get your phone wet, so it drowns on you, and can't be salvaged, can it?

Not so fast if there's a CPR around. Like a drowning person, CPR can and will resuscitate your drenched and soggy not-so-smart anymore phone. While most independent repair shops wouldn't even consider the wet ones, CPR will carefully investigate how to make it function again, troubleshooting through the damp device's drizzly recesses no matter if it went down into the depths of Lake Michigan or into the shallow end of an Olympic-sized oval in the backyard of your dearest billionaire buddy. "It will work again, I know it will," asserts CPR expert technician Sam G. Soggy, a specialist in all gadgets wet. For Sam, the flask of hopefulness is always half full.

But don't go and lose it again after Sam dries it out and restores your smart phone's intricate mechanisms. Losing it can lead to Hari Kari, beriberi (due to a weakened immune system from worrying where you lost it) and willy-nilly. If you happen to have it stolen, that can't be helped, unless you chain it to your right leg. If you happen to be guilty of bedwetting and you've taken it to bed with you and it somehow gets wet, but at least it's not stolen, you know what to do. Take it to CPR a little voice in your dream says, CPR …CPR.

Palm Pre from Sprint Released on June 6 Sells Out Quickly

The Palm Pre from Sprint made a bigger splash than Palm Sunday did this year. But was the impression a lasting one?

It sold out within an hour. Still, the numbers selling out were small, maybe 50 or 60 in stock -- just enough to feed smaller skeletal crowds with Palm on their minds, nothing like the iPhone mania. Sprint Nextel itself seems vestigial compared to the giant it was when Sprint was a byword for telecommunication. Now Sprint's days selling the Palm Pre are numbered, less than 200, until January 10, 2010, when Verizon becomes the exclusive vendor. They're a new smart phone touted by Palm groupies everywhere, but is this commotion just a conniption?

You could be the first octogenarian on your block to buy a Pre with its nouveau WebOS, but Palm Inc. is dying, and the wireless carrier Sprint is no longer so wired.

Palm Pilot users are like devotees to Marihesh Mahaha Yoga, but will they have the last laugh? Many do prefer a QWERTY keyboard to an iPhone's touchscreen. It's relatively cheap too. Sprint sells the Palm Pre for $200 after a $100 mail-in rebate, plus a two-year service agreement which is better than you can get now with most American-made cars.

Selling out might be deceptive to speak about. Sprint wouldn't say how many units were available nationwide, certainly not thousands at any one outlet, probably not even hundreds. The Pre is great for sorting through emails using a common interface – the secrets of Yahoo, Google, revealed by this smart phone with a QWERTY. The octogenarian might sync his Pre to iTunes -- there's no law against it -- and he was heard saying, "I love iTunes," to his granddaughter, a young woman wearing a cowboy hat from Nevada who prefers Blackberries and calls them fruity. But the Sprint deal will expire sooner rather than later and Verizon will bound onto the scene, with its stability for such issues as service and maintenance, although an Indy repair shop for cell phones might be a better answer for the Sprinters in the interim. Is it Palm pre Sunday yet?

New iPhone 3G s Touted as God in a Gadget

The iPhone 3G s is the latest from Apple, but is it a stupid smart phone?

It's the newest in smart phones, and it's bound to sell better than its predecessor, the iPhone 3G. This one is hyped with the letter “s” which stands for speed, twice as fast. But it looks almost identical to a 'regular' iPhone 3G and does twice as fast mean much when it comes to these gadgets? Has it been hyped by Apple? Has this Apple fallen from the tree like the sound of one hand clapping?

It does process tasks twice as fast, with data speeds increased to 7.2Mbps HSDPA (which is nowhere to be found in Pennsylvania, I checked). The newest iPhone's camera has been upgraded to a 3 mega-pixel unit with tap-to-auto focus and auto white balance. The tiny camera even supports 30fps VGA video recording with editing features so users can create their own real-time docs. Other features with the newest iPhone 3G include a built-in compass, Nike+ support, and its own itty-bitty battery that gives you 5 hours of 3G talk time and 9 hours of WiFi use for those absurd moments of messing around time in an Internet café of your choice. You get a voice control interface with the 3G s that allows you to make calls or even control iTunes, and your gadget's "fingerprint-resistant oleo phobic coating" will make it seem like you never touched it even if you're afraid to. 3D graphics and an associated display, so let your games begin …

The newest smart phone boasts cut-copy-paste just like the iPhone 2.0 never had, even though you craved it, you know you did. Now you can paste words and photos, even between applications, like a pasty-faced fool. MMS capability means that you don't have to rely on email alone to text messages or snapshots. Lose your 3G s? The thing has 'Find my iPhone." Probably a small nuclear explosion in your neighborhood will alert you to where it's hiding, I don't know. This feature also allows you to remotely erase all data from lost or stolen iPhones, and then reload the information using iTunes if your device is rediscovered.

So what's not to like? It's hyped as God in a gadget, but is it really supernatural? Errr, no, not really. Everything on the iPhone 3G s can be found on most smart phones available in the market – Nokia, Blackberry, HTCs and Palmtops, for instance, even come with more features in some cases. It's a great music phone, but it doesn't even come in chartreuse. It's common, like a duck among geese, or a mouse among rats, or a pigeon among birds.
