Okay, you're not sure if it should be monkeying around on the computer. You still have a guarantee, a long-term contract of service and everything, right? Yes, I understand. But what I do not know whether the industry support PC dies or moves slowly offshore.

Yep ... my "bread and butter" work (the food on the table for me has more than 18 + years) is going the way of buggy whips and horse-drawn carriage.

Because computers are becoming smaller, morecompact appliance-type desktop support technician will be obsolete and useless. And what is a Razr cell phone or BlackBerry, if not of computerized communication device? You can say, Star Trek?

Okay, that is, I'm out of a job in the future, but what does that mean to you today?

Hands-on offering technical assistance costly in the long term. NOTE: Dell, HP and eMachine invest millions in low-cost "on the telephone" help desk support. You are notSet the number of "boots on the ground" technical as before. This means that if you have a problem that requires some skill to go to work, you go on a long waiting list.

Even worse to the "Big Boys" are quietly slipping into the fine print of all the most recent and their support service guarantees, the concept of "replaceable consumable parts.

What are the parties' consumer replaceable?

I'm glad you asked. Basically, there are more than ten or twelveessential hardware components in a modern computer. And most of the major PC manufacturers have made sure at least half of them are no longer covered under their warranty or service contracts.

And if they cover a bad part, the state, which lower down in the contract that "according to our choice of (helpdesk), technicians, or send a replacement part for installing on your computer to the device or on our computer repair ship plant.

Got it?

That's right. Even with a serviceAgreement, which will be the part that you can send, in order to add or you can send back to them for repair. See what I mean by "Consumer Replaceable? Oh yeah by the way the parties (which send you all alone) will probably be renewed for the installation." No, you do not even need a new one.

Now I will not vote for Dell. I really like, are in a really good when it comes to technical support. But all the PC makers do, "Consumer-replaceablePart "thing. You can use its" consumer-replaceable part "with a little help from my mini-guide very convenient in July or repair your car to save expensive computer and let their geek-to-go replace it for you.

So in the next few years computers will be like any other appliance large. The maintenance and care of their few "moving", the parties are the sole responsibility, warranty or not. When you last saw oneRefrigerator repair guy?

The options are picked up from you ... The choice is yours, your time, your portfolio.
