I never do house-calls, people seem to think if I solve a problem at
THEIR property it must have been trivial, so how do I justify the price
(and I'm "retired" so I'm CHEAP).
I can see your reasoning but on the other side of
the coin I've seen machines run fine at my shop &
not at the clients home. It was either poor
electrical connection or over heating. Those cute
little computer desks that hide the box behind a
cabinet door are terrible. This one client in WV
wondered why is wife kept falling a sleep & not
getting the house cleaned up by the time he got
home but it was no wonder as he never took the
storm windows down & they had no central air
conditioning. It would get over 100°F in the
house & higher in the computer room. Heck I
wasn't there 10min & I had to get out of the
house & still I passed out. I swore I'd never go
to that house again as I was sick as a dog all
week end & Viki who doesn't like to drive had to drive the 2½ hrs home.
Heck I've had clients tell me after I complained
that it was too hot that it was not hot when
their won thermometer said it was 85° in their
house. They claimed it that the thermometer
didn't work. Come to find out they took out the
window air conditioner because their hyper active
son would climb on it. That was a kid that needed
ritalin if I ever saw one yet mother wouldn't
hear of it because she didn't believe that there
was anything wrong with the boy. Poor kid. As
soon as the biological father got our foster kids
he took the boy off his Ritalin & he went
downhill fast ending up in Juvenile Detention til
he was 21. How some people can be parents is
beyond me & it takes almost as little qualifications to own a computer.
