  • iPhone 6 screen repair is it worth it?

    We all have those devices that we love to use. That loyal iPhone 6 that never skipped a beat over the years. But now that you have cracked the screen is it worth having it repaired? My answer is yes and no. While many people who sell refurbished iPhones are going to try to get…

  • I Love being a Mac-Tech in Lithgow!

    Because of my history of working at Apple in California in the tech support department that handled the “Odd cases,” many people ask me “Why Lithgow” as if the idea that Lithgow would be beneath me or something. At first, I heard about Lithgow’s bad reputation so I was a little reluctant to buy a…

  • macOS Ventura coming soon

    I think I may be the only guy in Lithgow who is excited about macOS Ventura! I even got up at 3 AM to watch the WWDC. Some people say I’m crazy to get up that early to watch an Apple product announcement. I say… do you really want someone to repair your iMac if…

  • New Apple Products at WWDC

    You know you are an Apple geek when you wake up at 3:00 AM to watch WWDC live. Yes, I am that kind of geek! I’m barely awake and the only things keeping me awake are my coffee and the excitement of what Apple is going to announce. While I am an appreciator of Apple…

  • Growing too big for my Mac repair bench

    When I first started this business in the middle of the COVID pandemic I did not think that I would be this busy. At the time I thought that I would have a few repairs now and then and spend a lot of time training. So renting space from Lithgow Tech Services was the best…

I also know that our seniors are some of the most brilliant people out there. The problem…

  • Katoomba Apple Expert

    If you have been to my blog before you would know that I’m a former Applecare employee who was trained in California. This does make me an expert at all things Apple. I was working at one of the local computer repair shops in Katoomba however COVID put my employer in a bad situation and…

  • We got busy! Book Online!

    Ever have one of those moments when you start to have problems double booking because everyone wants to see you at the same time. Well, I had that problem last week. Lucky I was able to change some dates around and make it all work. Being that I’m one of those people who learn from…

  • Senior Tech Training

    Some seniors struggle with tech but not for the reason you think. Teaching adults and seniors is very different from teaching a child. For a child, you have to find ways to keep them away from the device. There is a lot of motivation for a child to play with tech. Teaching a child how…

  • Can you spot the Scam?

    Part of my personal study of scams is spending a lot of time on Facebook groups reading about how people got scammed. Most of the people in the group are victims of Romance scams. They hope to find more information about their scammer and get their money back. Unfortunately, this opens them up to a…
