Stupid computer questions
- Thread starter crow01

never mix friends and money. i learned that the hard way. if you want to keep your friend. fixing his/her pc is not a big deal. doing a website is for sure more work. in that case what I do is send them a referral. or at least give them some pointers on what they need to do.
but going back to the case...I remembered a couple more
1. "My computer is not working"
This is a very broad statement. It's like saying, my bass doesn't work.
2. Some people still use those old dot printers; the ones where they have continuous paper and take 5 minutes to print each page.
3. Some people still have Windows 98
4. The "I hate you" looks I get when I have to block their messenger and facebook. Or even more... they ask me why their msn or facebook do not work.

I forced my aunt (whom never touched a computer before) to buy a computer.Its been almost 2 years and there's a big difference between the hours I used to wake up and I wake up know.The second biggest mistake I've ever done.I almost yelled at her a few times.
Also my mother told our neighbour that I can fix their computer a few years ago.I still go there once a month.HELP ME.
Years ago my friend's comp. went silent.I reformatted the computer,reinstalled drivers etc etc,it took me HOURS.Right at the time when I almost lost it,I kneeled down for some reason only to see the speaker's cable hanging from the desk freely.
