It’s going to be a sad summer for Apple fans in the Big Apple. Tekserve, the beloved Mac repair shop that distinguished itself with a customer friendly and quirky, faintly old timey identity, will close after nearly three decades of service to New York City’s Apple faithful. When I first moved here almost two decades ago, there was no such thing as the Apple Store and in fact the Apple brand seemed on the verge of collapse. Tekserve was not just a reliable service center for the PowerBooks I carried around back then, but it was also a bit of an oasis for like-minded Mac geeks. I’ll miss it terribly.
There’s a write-up on the coming closing at nytimes.com.
