It takes too to make confusion. Perhaps she thinks she's giving you something to do, or a hobby you enjoy. She'll probably be really embarassed if you explain that people pay you to do this kind of work, so be tactful. "I took a look at your computers and they'll take far more time and resources than I could do just as a favor. The cost for me to repair them would be about $ xxx/hour, but it would probably be better for you to save your money and buy something newer. In that case, you'll need to take these back, as there's a cost to recycle them." -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
