Pretend that we do not exist, that is fine with us. Do not try to explain us though. Do not try to understand where we come from or what motivates us. If you are not one of us, then you will never understand these things. You are welcome to join us. Otherwise, leave us alone.

I liked what you posted here but I must say that it can be improved, although it is good but some more effort can get this blog to the top. And the theme is good.

I have to say one thing. I work on computers and networks for a living. No one should ever download your files, and everyone who works on a computer should make a backup of your hard drive if it even looks like there could be data loss, ecpecially if the customer has not made a recent backup, which should be asked before you even touch a machine. Now for those people who gripe about how much is charged. For a simple virus scan or put in a power supply, and then the computer works fine.. a labor charge of 50 dollars should be sufficient. But for people who do have so much spyware or virus’s on their computers that it has done so much damage to the OS. Sometimes it takes less labor to wipe and clean a machine than to spend hours scanning it with different virus or spyware scanners, or using hijack this,. There are many programs out there and not one of them can detect everything. This takes time. so when your hard drive needs wiping. we always ghost your hard drive so abolutely nothing is lost. You will have to install software that you already have, and if you want me to install all of your software and put all your files back exactly where they were and install your printer, put all your playlist, itunes etc.. And even come to your house and rehook it up for you. I have news for ya.. YOU SHOULD BUY ANOTHER COMPUTER. All this takes A LOT OF TIME. so go ahead an trust a “student” in a computer class with your data. It’s true The Geek Squad does hire a lot of people who don’t know how to work on computers. But if you want professionals get ready to pay. I get sick of people griping about how much it will cost to get their computers fixed because a hard drive went out. It cost at least 60 bucks for a 160 gig drive, and then labor to try and get your data, reinstall the OS and everything. Some people say.. I might as well got another computer, and Maybe you should.. sometimes it make a lot of economical sense to do just that. but guess what.. you still need your files., your programs, your songs on that other computer.. Anyone can do this service for you.. yourself included if you knew how to copy files.. some people do it themselves and I’m glad… I need to fix real problems.. I will copy files for people.. I know some people just have not learned and I understand that. but some people are just plain lazy and then they still gripe about their computer service..
