You will never make any money at it - you will be hounded day and night - plagued with phone calls - the pay is **** - do i need to go on??? I am glad that i got out of this business because if u think about it logically how can you make money in it??? Hardware is a waste of time and is becoming more and more dirt cheap - honestly my advise to any one is to get out of IT and do anything else as it will be less hours for more money!!!! pc_master (15372)

823869 2009-11-21 01:04:00 I am thinking of taking the advice and getting rid of my computer completely now where can I buy an Abacus with it's original manual.

What a way to get your post count up maybe I should try multiple repeat postings to get my postings up too

Really? I love being plagued by calls.
I love being hounded day and night. Probably why I suggested to my father he send his down for an upgrade, recently.

CHeap hardware, mm, like this perhaps:

pricespy.co.nz

Seeing as it's all so cheap, how about you buy me one and send it over.

823871 2009-11-21 03:44:00 How do you calculate GST on a chocolate cake??

Chocolate cake / 9 = far too many pieces to eat at once (well, maybe not...).

And would the IRD accept a slice of chocolate cake in an envelope as a GST payment?

:D

I have given lots of people her number even my accountant uses her now and he refers his clients to her when they have computer problems.
As long as desk top computers and software glitches plague us non geeks they will always have a job.
