They seem to think that my building the computer for them gives them unlimited tech support on it as well.


Sorry, but my computer build has nothing to do with you surfing porn sites without virus protection and getting infected!

no, they don't want me to come over and fix it for them... they want me to teach them how to do it, over the phone.
