my friend had his iMac repaired and they coudn;t fix it... they gave it back to him, in pieces, in a fucking cardboard box... he was rightfully pissed as would anyone be if they payed for a service and didn't recieve it... granted you hooked-him up in the end, but likely should have explained the situation...

Yes, because I am a firm believer in compulsory euthanasia.

The computer is the one that died here, and you pug-pullers have not shown it any kind of respect. Computers are people too. Just because they may not be fleshy; it doesn't mean they're inferior to us. You fuckers ought to show some respect.

RIP, computer with no name.
if a computer is a person - does it give you the right to eliminate the just because they are old and slightly battered?

just because the computer was not top of the range - it was probalby perfect for the old mans usage... using word, connecting to the internet etc.[/quote:ddb02]

Have you ever treid to browse the net on anything below a 500mhz machine nowadays ? It is impossible. The load times are so shitty you want to strangle someone. The guy would have noticed its pos performance and have gone beserk.

Allright, here is what happened:

Boss found computer dead. After a small rant storm, he got another used computer out and set it up. 45 minutes labor. Its faster, more stable, and all around better for this guy. EVERYTHING ACTUALLY WORKS! It has Windows 98 on it. It runs pretty fast for a P2.

I get to keep my job.

My boss isnt very mad.

The guy is happy and has a faster computer. Didnt cost him a thing.

I'd say it turned out pretty good.

dont count us "old guys" out. We can still clean a punks clock when needed. What you did was wrong, what your boss did was right. The customer is always right. It may suck at the time but thats how you have to deal with it. You should have tried to sell him an upgrade to make some cash for the company you work for. I think McDonalds is in your future
