A One Computer

Our shop, A One Computer, is at Shop No 7 right on the Ring Road. It is a very visible spot, though the traffic can make it a bit hard to park sometimes. We’ve been here for a good few years now. The shop is pretty basic, just some sturdy tables and a lot of shelving for the components we keep in stock. We handle a lot of walk-in traffic because of the location. Someone will be driving by, remember their laptop is acting up, and just pull over. We do everything from RAM upgrades to fixing power supplies. It’s mostly just hardware stuff. The air conditioner in here struggles a bit during the peak of summer, but we keep it running because those machines get hot. It’s a small team, just me and a helper. We handle the phones, the repairs, and the cleaning ourselves. There isn't any hierarchy here. If the floor needs sweeping, one of us does it. We’ve got a lot of tools that we’ve gathered over time, some of them are quite old but they still work perfectly for what we need. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living. We aren't trying to be the biggest computer shop in the city, just a reliable one for the people who use the Ring Road every day. It’s a bit noisy with the cars outside, but you get used to it after a while. We stay open late most nights.
