there is an opportunity loss if you do not make maximum profit.
If I can shovel snow and clear $20 this weekend, but I stay in and make $10 fixing a laptop, I lost $10.

Car mechanics do it that way. There is a fixed time to replace a cretain part depending on the make/model of the car. The same way you should charge a sliding scale depending on the size of the drive to image it. Sure the set-up time is the same, but you tie up the imaging hardware longer, making it un-available for other jobs. |
