Also +rep for the Polaroid shots in the sand, good to see that they're "cheating" on their "families" in the video with film hehe.

So yesterday, a friend referred their friend to have me fix her PC. She said her internet was very slow. I went to her house, and everything was downloading at 1kb/s. In 10 minutes I found out the problem was the network jack on her router. Then she asked me a bunch of computer questions, like should she upgrade, should she reformat her drive, etc. I answered all her questions as...dumbed down as I can without using tech jargon, and she still had trouble understanding it.
I suspect if she took her PC to Geek Squad, she may need to buy a new PC afterwards.
Anyways, so I asked for $20 for the fix [mainly for gas, because it was quite a drive], but she insisted on giving me $50. She said she had other tech people fix her PCs in the past and she paid them between $50-100. Didn't know you can make $100 off of like 10 minutes of work... unless the tech people just acted busy for a full hour and it really took 10 minutes to fix her PC problems...

@elryry: I don't know what Geek Squad you're thinking of, but the Geek Squad I know will charge you $30 to turn on parental controls and set up a PSN/Xbox Live account on your PS3/Xbox.
