| 681376 | 2008-06-24 00:38:00 | If its someone who is just penny pinching and wants it all done for free, The best ones are " My Mate/brother/ husband etc" Knows all about computers.......", These are exactly the ones I am talking about. They basically just want instructions. Free of course. |

| 681378 | 2008-06-24 02:29:00 | What, with this news (s0.tx.co.nz)??? Maybe it would be poetic justice... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 681379 | 2008-06-24 03:46:00 | What, with this news (s0.tx.co.nz)??? Maybe it would be poetic justice... They still have to install and enter admin details to run it. Ooooh I'm so scared.:p I would be more worried about all the crap out there that infects Windows thana couple Mac trojans that need admin password to be installed. |

| 681381 | 2008-06-24 09:38:00 | Remember these are potential customers - the best way to approach this is a gentle brush-off with an encouragement to bring the problem to the shop . Then at least you have them in front of you (a sales opportunity), and if the issue is a simple one, a quick fix at no, or minimal charge will encourage them to come back next time . . . . This approach will do wonders for word-of-mouth advertising too . |

| 681382 | 2008-06-24 15:43:00 | As a retired heavy duty mechanic (I'll get this to fit . . somehow), and when asked for free advice, I let them know that I've given up mechanics and taken up itinerant gynecology for a hobby . But then again, I'm not trying to build another customer base either . Been there . Done that . Quit it a few years ago . One thing youse guys forgot is that there are a plethora of "Forums" like this one . . where all sorts of problems can be addressed . Why not just tell them to register and become a member . . . after all, if they are gonna run Windows . . they will have to become an IT expert sooner than never anyway . If people like:THE MOST REVERENT Sir Speedy and others of his ilk cannot fix it here . . . then they need professional help at their nearest tech shop . |
