Client wanted a replacement to her dead laptop (RMA, free fedex label). I persuaded her to get a desktop (she had the space). That one went spastic. (RMA,free fedex) All my hours setting it up and installing software went down the drain 31 days later. Of course I got an RMA, but no pay for the setup and software install....
So her daughter talked her into a tablet,which I bought after much discussion between mother and daughter. All seems well, currently. But quality control seems to be ditchwater, Any one else have that? HP, Lenovo, Asus, and even Acer. (Don't mention Dell.) SO MUCH de-crapifying of ridiculous pre-installed programs! In 1985 through 1992 or so, I built my computers from scratch, and one proud client recently showed me an 8088 I built, still working. But by the time 386s came along, I couldn't compete with the online and store price (Sears, Walmart, other department stores!) so I slowed and then, after 486s, stopped building. Plenty of money in buying online, then setup and installing software, and training.
Lately I have been encountering more problematic computers. And my clientele diminishes as the young'uns are perfectly happy watching crap on their smart-phones. They text while walking, missing out on the natural beauty which surrounds them. (As spring evolves, I find it extraordinarily repulsive)
Responses?
