By my calculations, about 96 percent of all computer repairs are done, not by
the local computer guy or the Geek Squad, but by The Friend Who is Good
With Computers. Often that friend is nothing more than an average computer
user who knows how to look up error messages on Google, but it doesn't
matter -- once they become known as TFWIGWC, they will get the call every
time something goes wrong. And they will fix it, probably for free, because
TFWIGWC pities you.
Still, any time a bunch of TFWIGWCs get together and share their computer
repair horror stories, you learn that there are certain things their "customers" do
that make them want to ram their head through a wall.
So, before I touch your computer, friend who may or may not do me a favor in
return for this free repair job, here's what you should know:
#6. Future Computer Problems Are Not Automatically My
Fault
This computer is yours. You know exactly who has used it. It is in its current condition without any outside
interference, especially from me. I, on the other hand, am about to spend several hours of my own time
trying to get it back into the condition it was in before you or someone you love screwed it up. So, two
months down the line if I get a call from you, saying, "That program you installed messed up my computer."
I will beat you until it causes hydrogen fusion. Or at least I will imagine myself doing it.
