Technically Nuts – A New Mac Podcast

December 8th, 2009

A couple of weeks back, two of our top (and oddest) techs, Shawn and Kyle, asked if they could do a podcast on all things Mac and Apple related. I agreed, and our podcast, Technically Nuts, was born.

In order for this podcast to work, we need user input. We need questions, comments, and suggestions.

If we use your question in our podcast, we’ll give you $25.00. If we use your comment, we’ll give you $10.00. We’ll take a few questions and comments in each podcast, and we hope to have at least one podcast per week.

Apple Lisa – A Video Disassembly and History

December 7th, 2009

Today, whenever Apple even hints at a new product, the press comes alive with speculation and fevered anticipation of what may or may not be. The reason why is simple. Apple has always been at the forefront of advancements in personal computing. What many people don’t realize is that before Apple reached the iconic status it now boasts, Apple was a struggling computer manufacturer with its fair share of ups and downs. Apple has had products which have had great success and products that have been complete flops, but every product has contributed to advancements in personal computing.


For this reason, every now and again we like to release repair videos on some of the older machines. Yes, there aren’t a whole lot of people repairing these anymore, but these videos serve as a history lesson of sorts to show how far technology has come in such a short period of time.

So today we’re releasing the next video in our Mac Repair video lineup; the Apple Lisa. For those of you that don’t know, the Apple Lisa preceded the Macintosh and was the first GUI personal computer. It laid out the blueprint for the Macintosh as we know it today.

Below you’ll find the embedded video which is also available on our Mac Repair Guides page.
