Hm – can’t find my past thread. Hope it wasn’t disappeared because it wasn’t home-y enough.

Just wanted to thank you guys for the input on my ailing computer. I know it’s either the hard drive or the hard drive controller, but in some mysterious way, it’s not being accessed the way it’s expected to – like it’s tied to the original computer box. And it’s impossible for a layman to tell whether someone else could be doing a better job of solving the problem. And I’m left wondering if the old WP5.1 makes it harder – or more of a specialized skill – to extract or copy.

Anyway, I’m trying to call Brookyn Geek (although since the computer is in Manhattan, I’m still hoping for a solution there), but the number I have is disconnected, so I’ll look again. Oddly, they have no internet presence. Thanks for the suggestion.

Crossing my fingers…

  1. Thanks – I’ll look them up. Hoping that they’re not only very nice, but are good at wrestling with ancient computers.

  2. Try Tahas technology in Manhattan. They’re very nice- don’t have the number but you should be able to get it from information. They are in Lower Manhattan but will travel.
