If your repair requires OS/2 awareness, Blonde Guy is a good choice. If, for example, you have a laptop with a broken screen, or a desktop with a bad power supply, there are better, cheaper repair alternatives.
Blonde Guy will diagnose almost any problem and provide an estimate and a plan for repair.
Blonde Guy will replace your current hard drive with a new one. This is challenging when a computer supports only one drive, for example, most laptops and tiny desktops. Blonde Guy will clone and replace the hard drive.
Blonde Guy will install ArcaOS on your computer. Blonde Guy will advise you regarding the ArcaOS compatibility of your computer.
Blonde Guy will install ArcaOS on your computer running under VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.
Send your computer running Windows or Linux, and Blonde Guy will install VirtualBox, and set up a virtual copy of ArcaOS to run under VirtualBox.
Blonde Guy will install ArcaOS 5.1 on your computer along side the current operating system. A boot manager will select between operating systems at boot time. This service will not be available until ArcaOS 5.1 is released.
Once Blonde Guy has examined your computer, you will receive an estimate by e-mail.
If you approve the estimate and make payment, Blonde Guy will complete the work and ship the computer to you. You must be in USA/Canada/Mexico. The computer must be small enough to ship via UPS.
If you decline the estimate, Blonde Guy will return your computer after you pay return shipping.
There are two ways to send Blonde Guy payment for diagnosis of your computer problem.
1. Enclose a check with your computer. While you are at it, include a description of the problem.
2. Use the PayPal button below to pay by credit card. It's still a good idea to include a description of the problem with your computer.
