Do you have friends that only call you when they need tech support? (Page 2)

yes!
its especially annoying when you tell them to buy a mac so you can help them when they fall in trouble. then they go out and buy a cheap pc and expect for you to help them.

 That would be a truly funny vision.

This concept extends far beyond the confines of simple computing, how to work a gui, keyboard shortcuts, but it covers troubleshooting, hardware repair.
Its because we have a thirst for learning and we detest inefficiency.
It applies to all things in life, languages, arts, musical instruments...
We should be happy to lend our <napoleon>skills</napoleon> to those who lack them.
We think different.
Kinda reminds me of that episode of "House"(getting interested in this sitcom), i watched the other day. House is interviewing this intern/student(long hair, chineeses/japaneeses name tattoo, "rebelious"), who tries to identify with House as being a rebel who dosent give a f*ck. House fires back.... "Those Asian students in the library on a Saturday night are the true rebels who dont care what anyone else thinks.". lol....definately made sence to me.

Yes. A lot.
The upside I got to date a couple of the girls whose computers I fixed while in college. Always nice.
I get trans-pacific tech calls from my parents. At weird hours because they can't shift time zones. For things not plugged in properly.
