We often get asked somewhere during the computer repair process
(usually after the price quote) if we think it is worth it to get a
computer fixed, or if the expense should be applied towards a new
computer. This question is a tough one for us because there are so many
different forms of value when it comes to computers. Many times the
importance of all the programs and settings you have on your computer
outweigh the difficulty in reinstalling and reconfiguring the entire
system should you get a new computer. The most important part of the
computer, however, is the data. You can’t buy new photos of your trip to
the San Juan Islands. You won’t be able to replicate the videos of your
children in a play. You will have a hard time downloading all those
songs all over again. And you will be even harder pressed to get all
your business documents organized in their folders the same way you had
them before. In other words, the time you have put into the computer’s
operation is worth something, and it’s hard for us to determine what
that is. It’s really up to you.
