Posted by Trogdor at 2:00am Oct 26 '09I don't know about the other geeks around here but I actually enjoy teaching people how to fix things or how to use their computer. The one gripe I have is when people call as soon as something goes wrong without getting any details.
Me: Hello?
Friend: My computer is broken, fix it.
Me: Define Broken
Friend: The thingy won't open.
Me: ...
If they at least have the error message or some details about what happened then we can start the problem solving.
