That's because it's B.S.
Just the Windows installation can take three times that amount of time.
If you can install, even one copy of Windows in 20 minutes, please let me know by what divine means you accomplish this.
I repair and install computers from my home office here in Hatillo. I also do updates and charge accordingly, mostly by the hour, and if you think I am going to sit here and diagnose (something that takes time in and of itself) for $5.00 you are mistaken.
I do agree with you that people need to be careful, but that is asking for too much.
When it comes to computers people are their worst nightmare, because they are lazy. I tell all my customers to go online and read up on viruses and spyware or buy books, especially the Dummies series, if they truly want to stop wasting time and money. I make a killing from removing viruses and spyware because people are lazy.
Even when I empower them to take care of their computers by telling them they can educate themselves with a few books, they just ignore my advice.
Now, why should I feel sorry for charging them when they will not even help themselves?
"There is a [lazy] sucker born every minute."
P.S. I am not certified. I worked as a computer technician and network administrator in Philadelphia for many years and have been working with computers since 1983. I do have a degree in computer programming.
