[ale] OT: Laptop repair

[Richard Faulkner]

JPC Computers is a shop I can recommend.  Specializes on laptops but
works on anything...Mac, Xbox, you name it.  The owner (Michael Kershaw)
is a friend and colleague and the shop has been around for several
years.  I go way back with these guys and have (and do) work with them.
Michael's also a Linux guy and great people.  Highly recommended for
most any repair needed...

Two locations to choose from (Atlanta & Houston metro areas)...

Rich in Lilburn

I bought a Logitec Headset that came with a mike, bonus was the usb
audio that works great with linux. (Fedora and openSUSE), it was a bit
$59 that was at BJ Foods.
