Blood relation does not equal computer expertise
A few years ago, I added two items to my list of common advice that I give.
1. Don’t let your kids fix your computer, no matter how old they are or who they work for.
2. Blood relation does not equal computer expertise.
I know that this makes me sound arrogant at times, but my first appointment this morning was a case in point.
It was a simple enough job, I was to setup a laptop and get it online. My client didn’t need any information transferred or any special tutoring, she just needed someone to tackle the initial setup with confidence.
Since this was my client’s first laptop she had consulted me a number of times about what to get and what to spend. Since Christmas, I had told her about a few good deals that were in the paper.
