God,
That article is so true.
The straw that broke this camel's back was when I was asked, not by a friend, but by a FRIEND OF A FRIEND for technical help on his Compaq running winME.
After 2 days and about 5 hours, this asshole offers to take me out to LUNCH! Friggin' LUNCH when I saved him over 300$ worth of work.
Screw that.
Now I make my living off these people.
Just the other day I had a service call to a company (WITH an IT person ON-SITE) to replace a CD-ROM drive.
Forty minutes and 65$ later, drive replaced and tested, and paperwork filed.
(I wanted to go to that IT person's boss and ask what division they promoted that woman out of and why IT? Why not something she could actually DO??)
