Get Ready

LOL!!! Get Ready IT Tech Men for the wave of Newbie onslaught that is about to commence.

Just wait till this little tidbit gets out on the general, non technical, news programs. The Newbies will be reaching for their phones to call their friendly neighborhood tech guy to come clean their PC off....FAST! Especially when the non technical news anchors murder this story into the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario. Looks like August is going to be a banner month for my pocket!

Re: Get Ready

I won't clean the computer unless the clueless
user. Sits with me and listens to why they
paying me big bucks to make there computer
work again. After they agree, I will fix it.
I also make sure they will "INFORM" all the other
members of the family about the changes.

Safe computing doesn't mean a thing. If junior
still loads that really cute P2P app. (AGAIN! ARG!!)

Re: Get Ready

Oh trust me, they watch, they ask questions, I even leave the cleaning tools on their machines to use and instruct them how to update and use them. The problem is only a small number of my users actually do what I've instructed them to do. The other group either just uses the apps, and don't update them, or they don't use them at all. Hey I don't care, if they want to keep paying me to clean off their PC's, who am I to argue?

My Wife's Sister got a free machine from a friend. This machine got owned over the internet. Beings she didn't know how to fix it, she just bought a new one. I told her to tell her friend that if she isn't careful, the same thing will happen again, and to call me so I can lock the PC down. Haven't heard a word since.
