True exchange from work:
Voice on the phone: "Could you come up here? My computer won't play my music CD."
Me: " Do you have your speakers turned on?"
VOTP: "Oh....." click
It should be noted that I am the manager of an auto parts store, not a corporate IT guy.
I've cut out doing free house calls for friends and relatives. Just because I'm not afraid to open a few files, or replace some hardware, doesn''t make me a "computer guru." It's time for them all to start participating in the economy.
