At the rate that my computer repair is taking, I might as well take in my shingle, go out of business and go bankrupt. I'll be the guy you see pushing a grocery cart around town while using an iPad.
1. they will always say that it can be repaired quickly- lie #1
2. they will always say that it is the first on their list- lie #2
3. they will always say that it really will be done by tomorrow- lie #3
4. when you finally get it back one to two weeks later (original estimate 3 days) they will say that they had been swamped by work lie #4 and that your computer is old and hard to work on - possible truth.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

LOL, I'm not going to do this, but I bet you if you google 'homeless person with IPad' a lot of dedicated information will come up.
ToB--you need to google it and do a post on "I'm homeless and this is why I own an iPad". It's rather lovely and inspiring.

You called it correctly, James, point by point. 'Cept maybe that very last thing—if it's still on warrantee, it ain't too old—to my way of thinking.
