Hello Everyone!
I am CaptainGar, and thank you all for the software and links you provide to this forum.
I am my family's 'Techno-Geek', which means (as many of you likely know) I fix everyone's gadgets for free.
I also do a lot of their automotive repairs... plumbing... electrical... pretty much everything.
I've spent the past 15yrs teaching myself computer repair, and am currently learning how to fix damaged smartphones/tablets, but many manufacturers seem to be adopting the 'don't make them fixable, make them buy a new one' approach to their products.
Eventually I would like to start a non-profit organization that repairs recycled PC's and donates them to schools for autism, and for the students that need them at home. As a single parent of my 16yr old autistic son, I understand how much parents/caregivers of autistic children need and appreciate anything that can make their lives easier. I also remember how important our computers were to my son when he was young, and could only communicate effectively through Word and wordpad (he even taught his elementary school teacher how to use the computers in her classroom).
Thanks again, CaptainGar
