Having your Macintosh repair kit with you at all times – Priceless!
At the Stefan G. Bucher Art Directors Club of Metropolitan Washington event on Thursday (MacMedics was a sponsor), we were in the right place at the right time to make a nice Macintosh save. Stefan G. Bucher the presenter at the event forgot his DVI to VGA video adapter for his MacBook Pro. He came over to our table to say hello, and asked if we had an adaptor he could borrow. He said, “Without it, it was going to be an extremely short presentation”.
Lucky for him, we came fully prepared to take on any Mac problem, and because we’re so nuts about being fully equipped at all times, we were able to save the show by reaching into our repair kit.
It’s not the first time we’ve amazed someone with what we happen to have with us. At Interact 2008, a fellow exhibitor saw that we were Mac folks, and asked if we happened to have an iPhone USB cable he could use to charge up his phone. I always carry 2 or 3, so I gave one to him to keep. He was amazed. I scored a travel coffee mug out of the deal, so not a bad trade.
If you’ve got a sticky Mac problem that you need help with, call us and we’ll come prepared to help! In addition to a fully equipped Macintosh repair kit, we’ve always got a full compliment of Macintosh replacement parts and cables.
