How is this different than iFixit.com's offering?
Sometimes I wonder about the YC investments on things that I just dont find all that novel, or revolutionary...
I mean - I guess its cool because they expanded/franchised out to college campuses or something, but I don't find this to be particularly interesting.
It would seem that they must have sold a grander vision to YC; "We will be the Geek Squad of college campuses, everyone on campus has a machine and a phone!" -- there is a real business there, sure, but I am not very excited about it.
Even coming from a career IT background, commoditizing helpdesk/repair and deploying an army of iTech's to college campuses just doesn't interest me.
I am sure that this could make a lot of (boring) money in the future though, so good for them.
