| Paying For Free Advice |
| 08.28.04 (7:11 pm) [edit] |
I know I haven't been updating my blog...well it's the summer, I do other things, like commenting on other blogs.
But I do read blogs.
Okay my rant for now is this. Why does a certian store charge $300 for an outdated operating system) OS thats not even being supported. (Yes I know its a license fee, labor & installation fee but that doesn't change the facts)
I have 2 clients right now that want this but they can't afford that in their budget. Okay let's go with an open source OS that's free. Ohhh you mean you didnt know there was a rival to the winBLOWS? It's called Linux. But that would mean the clients have to relearn how to do things. Now if it were me, yes I would go with free but I dont need to at this point, after all I do have a free browser that rivals IE, free anti virus protection, free email, free games online, free IM programs, free news feed, free graphics & a free blogging site. Wierd huh?
I manage to save more than I would happen to spend. Try to explain this to the average user of a pc but they don't like to hear the word *free*.
Most people expect to hear a cost factor. When I give free IT/computer tips out to who ever and where ever, I always get the same look. It's a look of What the fuck are you doing not charging for the advice your giving. When I see this look I usually tell them why Im doing this & it's this, either I give the advice for free now & you listen or you come to me, pay me my fee & then we go from there.
What happens next is just really outrageous. They open up to me, now they don't tell me what exactly they do on the web, but usually you can tell where they're going with this. I mention porn sites & what they do.....they get that *shit he knows I go to see kittens get juggled* site....no I dont, but I know what type of items sites like this like to drop onto your computer with out your knowledge. So I tell them what programs to run, give them a business card if they want one with some sites on the back and a pat on the head saying *Now be a good internet user* LOL...yeah right, they'll see me and have to pay me.
Isn't being evil fun when you know they won't listen to free advice.
*Side note* Never try and type when your in pain drinking alcohol to kill the pain with another computer geek looking over your shoulder correcting your entries...it could lead to sex. I mean really good geek sex. Or just good cyber fantasy sex. Or something like that.
