JPC Computers is a shop I can recommend. Specializes on laptops but works on anything...Mac, Xbox, you name it. The owner (Michael Kershaw) is a friend and colleague and the shop has been around for several years. I go way back with these guys and have (and do) work with them. Michael's also a Linux guy and great people. Highly recommended for most any repair needed...<BR>

I bought a Logitec Headset that came with a mike, bonus was the usb
audio that works great with linux. (Fedora and openSUSE), it was a bit
$59 that was at BJ Foods.
