About Pop's Computer Repair and Training. Glens Falls, NY

My name is Lou Hall and I've been keeping it green, living off the grid, in Washington County, near Belcher NY for the last seventeen years. I have two sons. Brian & Lou Jr.. Lou was calling me pop's for a number of years and by the time I started the business, it started sounding like a good enough fit for the business name, so I used it.

I'm 57 and my first real exposure to what was then called "new technology" goes back to 1968 at Guilderland Central High School where they offered one of the first computer programming courses in the state of New York. As simple as it might have been by today's standards, it was like science fiction to me then! We used two IBM 029 Keypunch Machines, an 056 Punch Card Verifier, and an IBM 082 Sorter. The Sorter was by far the most the most fun to use as it required flow-charting, and physically wiring a large board on the side of the machine for each new job you programmed it to complete. I guess it was no coincidence one of my first part-time jobs during my junior and senior years of high school was as a keypunch operator with the NYS Department of Income Tax & Finance in Building #8, at the then brand new, SUNY Albany Campus.

In one capacity or other, I've continued to work (and play) with computer hardware, software, and various gadgets ever since. Along the way, I've always enjoyed helping others solve their computer problems too, which finally led to opening Pop's Computer Repair & Training.
