What is wrong with this screen?

Posted in Glass Masters by Green People on the June 12th, 2008

Computer Guy: I will tell you what is wrong .. it needs a new video card installed?

ME: Are you sure thats what is wrong with this computer?

Computer Guy: Yes.

ME: Well how much is it going to cost to replace?

Computer Guy: I should be able to put in a new one for around $600.

ME: Are you serious? Why so much?

Computer Guy: Well this is an older computer and it needs an upgrade to the newest equipment.

ME: Are you replacing ONLY the video card?

Computer Guy: Yes, thats right.

ME: Get away from my computer.

That is the conversation I had with a fellow at one of the local shops that fixes computers. I can do this job myself for the cost of gas to the local electronics store and the price of a video card. I happen to know for a fact that I can get the video card online for about 1/6th of what that fool was going to charge me. So yeah .. I took my computer and left that place never to return.
