Binary Computer

I have been running this place at 1/1 Municipal Office Lane for a while now. It is on the ground floor, so people just walk in off the street in Kolkata. The shop is called Binary Computer, but it is really just me and a couple of others surrounded by stacks of motherboards and tangled wires. It gets quite dusty here because of the traffic outside, and the fan doesn't always do much against the humidity. We spend most of our mornings opening up cases and blowing out the grime from old CPUs. Sometimes customers come in frustrated because their laptop died right before a deadline, and we just try to see what can be done. It’s not a fancy showroom with glass cases. There are boxes piled up in the corners and the chairs are a bit worn out from years of use. We keep the address simple so people can find us easily near the municipal office. Sometimes the internet acts up and we just sit there waiting for it to come back so we can finish a download. It is a plain way to make a living, dealing with hardware and software issues day in and day out. We don’t have any big speeches about technology. We just look at the screen, try to figure out why the blue screen appeared, and get back to work. If someone needs a cable or a mouse, they know where to look.
