CompuDOS

Yesterday for me was a day of running around the city to get things printed and buy cardboard, paint and other fun things. It reminded me of my days back in Uni and more so because I had to go back to the university area to get all these things for cheap. I had to print 100 copies of color handouts with two hand outs in each page.
My friend from University suggested me to go to Compudos right next to pub zoo and near MMU students union.
Thank god it is March and the students don’t have to get their ultra thick dissertations printed, because this is when printing places become busier than Obama (No kidding). I had a pretty smooth entry into the shop because there was no queue of any kind and the shop owner was very friendly and welcoming. I could not find my pen drive so he let me use his computer to open my email and find the document (bless him). He then printed out the copies for me and also help me cut the papers (I had two handouts in one sheet). That was such a big help because I was dreading to do that by myself.
He also guided me as to where I could find a massive cardboard and paint for cheap. The printing cost me only 23 pounds (100 copies of color print).
Verdict: Good service and reasonable pricing! I am definitely going back whenever I have any printing work!

Compudos is one of a number of computer repair centres in the area surrounding the two Manchester university Campuses (University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University) — with all the students downloading music and/​or spilling cider onto their laptops they all do a pretty brisk trade. My friends have used Compudos to repair their computers in the past and report them to be quick and reasonably priced — but then any price is reasonable when it comes to recovering your un-​backed up research project.
My contact with the business came when I needed to get my dissertation bound on the day it was due to be handed in. The queues at the highly recommended U-​Print (located on The University of Manchester’s north campus) were massive and I was verging on full-​blown panic attack by the time I reached Compudos. Within five minutes they had spiral bound both copies of my dissertation at a charge of only £7 (metal binding is available for £8.50 a copy and hardback for £15, with a £5 surcharge for a one hour rush service.) I handed it in with half an hour to spare. And that’s how Compudos saved my degree, true story.
