Computer repair technician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A computer repair technician is a person who repairs and maintains computers and servers. The technician’s responsibilities may extend to include building or configuring new hardware, installing and updating software packages, and creating and maintaining computer networks. Computer repair technicians work in a variety of settings, encompassing both the public and private sectors. Because of the relative newness of the profession, institutions offer certificate and degree programs designed to prepare new technicians, but computer repairs are frequently performed by experienced and certified technicians who have little formal training in the field.[1]

Out of the spotlight, Mac computer sales grow
“It’s a different company than it used to be,” said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray. “It’s not a traditional computer company. It’s a mobile devices company.”
The rise of the iPhone notwithstanding, the Mac is still a big part of Apple, which dropped “Computer” from its name in 2007. Macs sell for an average price of $1,300 with 30 percent gross margins, Munster said. By comparison, consumer-grade Windows machines sell for half that, about $687, according to research firm IDC.
That’s why Apple’s relatively small slice of the U.S. market – only 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2010, up from 4 percent in 2005 – doesn’t matter much. For every half-point in market share Apple takes from Hewlett-Packard, Dell and all the other Windows vendors, it boosts its sales by about $3 billion, Munster says.
