Willow Rosenberg knew computers. She understood how they worked. She could find any information needed by use of the internet. She had even taught computers to her fellow students back in high school following the death of Ms. Calendar. However, since having her stint on the Dark Side of magic, and managing to find her way back again, the one thing she didn't quite trust herself to do was actually put one back together when it was broken.
It wasn't that she couldn't do it. She could. She just tended to use her magic to help and, well, the less she used her magic to do things like that, the better off she tended to be.
So when her laptop finally managed to sizzle its way into oblivion, Willow hadn't hesitated to take it somewhere to be fixed. Well, okay. Maybe she'd hesitated a little bit. But after speaking with Giles, Willow had gathered up her laptop with the fried hard drive and headed off to a local shop to have it taken care of.
Stepping inside, a smile on her face, she cast a quick look around the small store before finally spotting the young man behind the counter. He had a look on his face that said he might be busy and she didn't really want to intrude. However, her computer happened to contain the newest version of the demon database for Angel Investigations and she really needed to retrieve that information before some other monster decided to attack the city or Wolfram & Hart got up to their old tricks again.
Sighing softly, she made her way to the guy and cleared her throat a bit. "Uh, hi," she greeted him with a bit of a wave and that same perky grin as she typically wore. "I was hoping maybe you could look at this for me? The hard drive is kinda shot and it has some pretty important info I need on it."
Holding the laptop in her arms, in front of her, her green eyes studied him as she waited for his response. If he couldn't help, she'd have to use her magic. Which, she supposed, would be fine. But she would much rather pay someone else to do it than risk going back to scary, veiny Willow over a few files on demons and a certain evil law firm.
