Both my PCs are getting a little long in the tooth, so I am currently putting together an action plan. This includes a hardware list, purchasing of a backup drive, more software and an index of everything I currently have installed.
I've found a new, local PC supply shop and although I haven't visited yet, it's had some great reviews and the tech I spoke to yesterday was extremely helpful. As a former tech myself, I am very wary of dealing with PC shops staffed by snotty teens who have been gone through the company sales training, but know little about their inventory. I get a little irritated by salespeople who assume I know next to nothing about their products and have just come to buy something off the shelf purely based on their enthusiasm and recommendation.
