Mac Users - repair in Hilo

[pslamont]

I went to the Apple service center in Hilo a couple months back. I have an iMac half dome desktop that just stopped booting up one day. they told me it was too much trouble to find out what is wrong as parts are nearly impossible to get and the expense outweighed the practicality. I took their word for it at the time and had myself a fancy doorstop for a few months. When I needed a fix for the malware I foolishly let attack me a week or so ago, I tried out TropicMac, which is located about a block from the actual Apple store. The guy there is certified by Apple but the shop is independent. He said "let's take a look at it" and called me back in a day with the information that all that was wrong was the ram needed to be replaced. This is at least an 8 year old machine. He upgraded it to its max of 2 GB instead of the 500 mb it had. Whole bill for service and the ram was $175.oo. Oh, wait, that also included the $50 to look at another Mac laptop for me that I decided not to spend the $350 on to repair.

He was knowledgable, gracious, and definitely a winner. Use them if you can!!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
