Its what separates "us" from "them". We are most definitely not on their
level (the Geek Squad, Fire Dog, etc). Its OH SO LOW down there, and I
prefer the air up here on OUR level!

SirT,
Your approach is a perfect example of true "customer" service. What =
these big shops do should only be called "computer" service.
I try to make sure everyone I service knows that I collect discarded =
(but still working) parts, peripherals and systems for recycling. I =
then=20
break up most of the systems, download drivers for every OS that can =
support
each part (the driver files then go onto my portable USB drive and a=20
separate CD I take with me on calls) and then I use them as free =
emergency=20
replacement parts for all of my customers. Of course, the individual =
reused
parts go to someone else most of the time. But I had one experience =
where=20
someone's newer system had an onboard sound chip that went bad. While =
we=20
waited almost two weeks for the arrival of a replacement mainboard, I=20
dropped in the cheap PCI sound card that came from her old system, =
installed
drivers for it and left her still able to use her headset to talk online =
with her son (he lives in AZ and had just produced her first grandbaby=20
:O) ). I refused to charge her for this call and she was thrilled =
that=20
she wouldn't lose that connection at such a critical time (turns out he =
was=20
really in need of her guidance). She then turned speechless when I told =
her
that it was her own recycled card that saved the day. This wonderful =
woman=20
proceeded to force my number into the hands of many of her friends and=20
relatives. I don't know how many new customers I 'inherited' from that =
one=20
call, but I can tell you it was significant. There is simply NO =
substitute=20
for quality "customer" service and treating people with the respect that =
they deserve.
Peace,
G
