The curse of knowing a bit about IT: 'Could you just...?' and 'No I haven't changed anything'

My rules for PC tech support are simple. If it's windows, I'll only help you turn it into Linux. Just because I know how to deal with windows update does not mean you can ever persuade me do do it on someone else's behalf, ever. Every one of us that burns three hours of our life poxying around with the godforsaken mess that is Windows for it to inevitably need the same treatment 3 weeks later, all over again, more often than not on under specced hardware incapable of running bloatdows; is another three hours we'll never get back.

Seriously, people, it is good for ones sanity, and good for ones health.

Could not pay me enough to return to Windows Tech Support
