nope I don't offer anymore. If I have to look at it for more than a minute I say take it to the store. Even though I know a lot I don't want that "responsibility" plug. I don't even get anywhere near the stage of opening the case. It's on them.
If its just a matter of rebooting sure. Anymore than that and they are on their own. That's what GEEKSQUAD is for at BestbuyDonatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
I get this response from friends/family, "We'll just wait until our computer doesn't bootup anymore before we contact you to fix it". They say that because now I charge a small fee to fix their computers. I was so tired of being taken advantage of. Their computers were always full of spyware & viruses because they're too freaking lazy to scan them. The computers got to the point where it could no longer bootup. Then I'd have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

"Could you just take a quick look? It'll only take a minute..."
(4 Hrs later)
"Thanks! Well, sorry we ate all of the dessert without you. We thought you left!" -
Depending on what my friend(s) do for a living, I'll ask them how are they planning to reciprocate. I'm on vacation and you're on vacation. If I work on my vacation, I want some reciprocation. I also do not take cash from family/friends. Bartering is much more profitable in these cases. Again depending on what the do for a living.
Past example:
4 hrs spent on brother-in-law's computer
Brother-in-law owns electrical company and does 4 hrs of work on my house. He didn't but one of his workers did. -
I work on my family and friends' PCs all the time, as I can fix anything of course , plus maybe I'm lucky in that my friends and family aren't the jerks that apparently a lot of these technicians know -- I do them a favor, I can always count on them doing me a favor. Isn't that what life is all about?
EDIT: If you've visiting family and they're giving you a place to sleep and food to eat ... wouldn't you feel bad if you didn't help fix their computer? I'm glad that the full blog link shows that this guy just makes sure to pack a full tool kit when he visits!
P.S. I also fix cars, leaky faucets, and squeaky doors. -
